About Michael Shiono
I am a producer and music maker living in Los Angeles. Yes I'm a bass player haha but my specialty as a creator has been working with an eclectic range of artists both in the studio and on stage around the world. My sound is highly seasoned and I am all about adapting to each artist I work with. I will add great energy to your project no matter the means in which we work together!! I've been fortunate to collaborate with a diverse array of talent such as; hip hop legends A Tribe Called Quest; Ethiopian jazz pioneer Mulatu Astatke; jazz vocalist Madeline Peyroux, the inimitable Fantastic Negrito (2x Grammy winner); Afro soul queen Zap Mama, E.G.O.T. award winner Rita Moreno; broadway Legend Jennifer Holiday (2x Grammy winner); producer/ singer Amber Mark, as well many many others. This is an array of accomplished/ veterans of the industry spanning a huge range of musical styles and personalities. Artists aside, my productions span from single song to entire albums. I produce 100% in house and as well as full live sessions. I am a multi instrumentalist and can perform all musical parts when needed, both live and in studio. I absolutely love to help up and coming artists find their sound as well as offer some seasoned guidance on making your songs/ production sound the absolute best it can!
