CE Winds Feature Artist - John Michalak


John Michalak
Miami, FL - Signed 2008

Bio:
John signed as a CE Winds Featured Artist in July 2008, after CE Winds launched their new line of Pro Series saxophones. John visited us to demo the horns and for a recording session for our "Hear It Being Played" videos, where he quickly realized there was something very special about these instruments. "I though before playing them I would have a good backup horn for my Selmer Mark VI Alto and Tenor, but after playing these powerful horns, I knew they were meant to be no ones backup horn!"
Originally from Annapolis, Maryland, John moved to South Florida in 1989 and began developing his diverse musical abilities through many fantastic opportunities. He has performed and recorded with great artists from every musical genre, from Jazz to Rock, Latin to Reggae. John is often referred to as one of South Florida's most underrated sax players, and his extensive resume includes performances with multi-platinum selling artists such as Gloria Estefan, Julio Iglesias, Engelbert Humperdinck, KC and The Sunshine Band, David Lee Roth, and Raul DiBlasio.
John was most recently on tour with Gloria Estefan, which included a stop at the 2008 Latin Grammy Awards for a live performance, which was also broadcasted live on Univision.
Throughout South Florida, John regularly performs at the top local venues, such as Jazziz Club and Bistro, the VanDyke Jazz Club, Ohara's and others, as well as at the most prestigious Luxury hotels, such as The Breakers, The Ritz-Carlton, The Four Seasons, The Mandarin Oriental, and the Boca Raton Resort and Club.
CE Winds Featured Artists are musicians who have the passion and fire to create something more than just a sound. Music is not just something that you hear, it is something real that is created from the heart of the person making it! Music is a release, captures memories, and is a motivator! Music is a gift, and we say EMBRACE IT! If you would like information on how to become a CE Winds Featured Artist, email artists@cewinds.com
