Biography page

Name:

Michael Illan Felker

Music Composer:

Growing from a love of music from an early age, I was classically trained on Piano at an early age and performed in Jazz Band and Orchestra (trumpet) throughout my young school career. Once in college, I branched out and began creating custom music on synthesizers of the time. I progressed for many years and even had several of my compositions featured on local radio and television. In 2003, I took third place in a Korg-sponsored competition with my piece, "The First Time I Opened My Eyes." Over the last 20 years, I have been creating custom music for clients, projects and personal enjoyment.

It is my goal to score custom music for major motion pictures, television, multimedia, internet websites and games.
