Mike Vitale is a singer, songwriter and performer currently based in Los Angeles. We may see someone perform but not realize all the behind the scenes work it takes to be a musician. This interview pulls back the curtain to the details a musician deals with on a day-to-day basis.

Mike recently signed a contract to work for Holland America. He boarded in October and his contract was extended until March. I'm sure you'll find our conversation frank and enlightening.

Mike's music is available on all major streaming services. Here is a link to his webpage. Enjoy!
