As a singer songwriter in the 21st century, Drayton Michaels defines the new breed of self produced self financed and self realized artistry. In an age of cookie cutter re-hashed re-packaged retro, comes a welcome change from teenagers whose sole purpose for performing is to be a celebrity.
Drayton calls his music ""future classic"". Low Stress In the Deep End was greeted with humble praise from the underground and cyber press. His new disc The Power Of Gentile Aggression which is in production and slated for a spring 07 release will carry his sound even further.

	Everybody "Everybody" is just one of the many tracks that would fit nicely on the radio airwaves with it's sing-a-long styled chorus and memorable rhythm.
