Michael Vignola was born and raised in New York City. Since childhood, he had the innate sense of what music meant to him. His first record listening experience was granted by his grandmother, filling the room with the sounds of “Stand By Me” by the late, great Ben E. King. This ever familiar love never leaving his side, he would soon start taking piano lessons at an early age, Into his teenage years that love transpired after picking up his first guitar when he was 15, studying the likes of Jazz, Indie Rock, Metal, and Blues to name a few. Michael started playing in bands at the age of seventeen which cultivated him as a musician, producer, and writer. His work took him to places such as playing shows all over NYC in some of the most famous venues like CBGB's, The Hardrock Cafe and going on a major tour across the country called "The Vans Warped Tour".
