About Mike Messenger

Ignoring my professional career, here is my creative background:

Dubbed a gifted pencil artist at the age of 7, I completely neglected my talent and as a result I can now play the entirety of Super Mario World while blindfolded by sound alone.

1998-2003: I played brass (Trumpet, euphonium and Trombone), mostly focusing on Jazz & Classical. I still have some Jazz trombone improve talent in my gut, although I no longer play.

I've played PVC/ABS didgeridoo since 1999. In 2002 I founded a didgeridoo band that went by the handle "Mind Cure" The band is no longer together, but I still rock a mean techno didge with a looping pedal.

I picked up the guitar in 2006, and have tried to learn the solo for "Wish You Were Here" for the last four years. I think I almost have it down. It's unlikely you'll hear me on the radio anytime soon.
