We talk to Michael Raphael - Songwriter, Producer and Composer. Michael has seen it all, from moving down from San Francisco to Hollywood's Sunset Strip in 1987 and forming the band Jailhouse, navigating the hard rock drought of the late 90s with the band Neve and finally landing on the path to being an incredibly successful writer and composer with over 1000 TV and Film credits. Along the way Michael shares stories of his time performing with the late Jani Lane, advice from Gene Simmons and also his successful songwriting partnership and friendship with James Bourne of Busted. It's quite a ride for sure!
