Michael (aka Mike, manager of the group), grew up in Lake Como, the west side of Fort Worth, Texas. He is passionate about singing and performing. As a product of a singing family, his Mom, Dad, and maternal grandparents all sang in Zion Baptist Church Choirs. During his high school days, his chorus teacher was the renowned Jewel Faye Kelly. She had a huge influence developing his ear for harmony. He was also inspired by a variety of artists including all the Motown groups, such as The Temptations as well as The Beatles. All of which inspired him to think about starting a group. So, when he was a sophomore, he and four friends started a group named "The Barrons". Over the years, the group's name changed to "The Creators", then to "The Legendary Creators". The older groups were comprised of several members that included Marvin Rhodes, Fred Valentine, Greg Morris, Edward C. Graves, Booker T. Brooks and Leslie Wayne Alaman.
Mike sings 1st tenor, 2nd tenor, baritone, and bass. Although he considers himself a background singer, he sings lead on several of the songs. He is also one of the choreographers of the group.
