TAXI

Biography

"These songs have been built over a period of 12 years. Some of these songs saw their beginnings during my teen years. The new album represents more than a decade's worth of work and it is my highest hopes that it is worthy of so much time and effort. Throughout the production of this record, I have lost life-long friends, seen loved ones go to heaven, learn that I will be a new daddy, and battle a life altering illness. Each song tells a story about my life in music and my relationship with Jesus. Each song is a spiritual testimony about my journey from atheism to giving my heart to Jesus. The songs are about failed relationships, failing health, failing hearts and the renewed hope I have found in the One who has conquered death and the world." Michael McClead brings over a decade of music business experience to the world of Christian music. In his latest effort, McClead brings a heartfelt singer songwriter project to life with amazing vocals, enchanting strings, and catchy choruses backed by hip hop loops. His self titled release is unlike any acoustic based record anyone has ever heard and arguably stands alone as the most creative sound in all of Christian music. "On my own I'm nothing. That has been proven time and time again. Jesus saved me. It is through salvation that I am anything. It is because of His sacrifice that I have any worth. He saved me. What more to say?" Unafraid to tackle any subject matter McClead's songs deal with weighty subjects like abortion, homelessness, and poverty. McClead's first solo album was mixed and recorded with Larry Kriz of LNL Recording and mastered by the SoundLab (Eminem, Jason Newsted). The self titled effort will be released through Bless the Day Music and will be available at BlesstheDayMusic.com, MichaelMcClead.com, CDBaby.com, ITunes, and other local music stores near you, sometime in ‘09.
