Mike ~ Guitarist  aka: "Lil Mike"

Mike is a California native with a very proud Latino heritage. He has enjoyed blending both styles in his playing, but with that full on ROCK  hard edge. Mike also has other musical talents, such as, playing the trumpet quite well.  His love for many aspects of music has helped him to create his unique sense of style.

He is also well trained in reading  music & continues to study. He is currently studying music theory & further music application. Mike is also the trumpet player in band, at high school. After graduation he plans on furthering his music career, learning even more.

Mike is also quite popular with the young ladies, even though he is modest in their attention. If they continue to send so much admiration, Tessatura may have a young Latino sex symbol in the making!

His father works with many famous race car drivers & has been steered in that profession. However, Mike left the race car track for his music dream. Mike strives to be a great guitar player like Slash and some of his other influences, and adds that special spark for the ladies. "My Influences include", My cousin Danny in North Carolina, Slash, Daybreakends, Velvet  Revolver, Mars Volta, Smashing Pumpkins, Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez,  Queens  Of The Stone -Age, Foo Fighters, Guns N' Roses.....
