" I met Mykoman about 10 month's ago. We're both from Northeast Ohio, so I was well aware of his musicial connection with our community. What, I did'nt know about him, I soon learned. After discussion's about working together in an Artist / Producer relationship, I got to know the real Mykoman. I saw the incredible passion he has for the art... the depth of "Heart and Soul" that he pour's into every measure of his music, and simply the pure love he has for performing!
He is not Jade... he work's very hard, stay's focused and energized on every aspect of his musical career. We presently are still working as producer / artist , but are now good friend's as well.
In only 10 month's, we have finished over 16 mastered and releasded MYKOMAN's first EP " It's About Time"
Already Mykoman is getting national attention on the title cut " Time " we've gotten alot done in the past 10 month's, but , there's more to do and his Train is on a Roll! We are hoping Everyone jumps aboard"!!

At the age of 16 Michael ( Mykoman ) Lawrence , quit High School , moved to Hawii and worked in a pineapple cannery , before decideing that he wanted to do something different and joined the Army!
After passing a GED test , he settled into 3 year's of Service, that lead to playing alot of racquetball and attempting to grow his hair beyond the requirement's.
It would be accurate to say that there Is an absolut hint of rebellion in him that has been reflected throughout his life.
After his stint in the military, Michael focused his direction on playing his music and intially acquired the stage name Myko, while touring with a fine Rock'n Bluesman name MoJo .... get it?? ... Myko/MoJo!
The name stuck, and evolved into the Artist currently known today , as MykoMan.
Not only did Michael follow a different path , but many time's was forced to make his own. Constantly striving to live each moment to the fullest, it has become apparent through his lyric's that MYKOMAN see's thing's through a different set of eye's.

MYKOMAN make's it come to life with own style of music and excellent stage performance's. Simply put , he's different, and with his easy going approach to life it make's him enjoyable to be around. We are confident that you will appreciate the experience and the expression's of MykoMan .. so, come on along and Jump on The MykoMan express!!
