Mike McCulloch has been a staple in the Houston music scene for over 30 years. His chief instrument is piano / keyboards, but he is also a singer, bassist, guitarist, and percussionist.

Mike's father was a jazz pianist and began teaching him to play piano when Mike was still a toddler, starting with Scott Joplin ragtime and crooner hits of the '50s. Mike was the youngest of four, and each sibling influenced his musical palette with different genres, spanning from The Carpenters to Neil Diamond to Styx to Iron Maiden!

At 12 years old, Mike sang in a children's choir that performed around the country, including a classical three-part vocal show and a fully choreographed Broadway revue. They performed selections from the early days of musical theater, including The Sound Of Music, Fiddler On The Roof, George M, and You're A Good Man Charlie Brown. He continued to tour with the company for two years, with a final performance on the White House lawn.

Throughout his high school and college years, Mike focused on multiple instrument performance, composition, and orchestration with a focus in film scoring. He placed in the top 20 of the Turner Classic Movies' Young Film Composers contest in 2002.

Mike also has played with several Houston area bands, including Steve Campbell & Hearts On Fire, Inferno, LC Roots, Switch, ShapeShifters, Madigan, The Mystro Project, That 70s Thing, VHS, and Delovely. Each band brought a new appreciation of different genres and performance styles, and each has played its part in molding Mike into the performer he is today. He currently performs in an act called The Piano Asylum with his lovely girlfriend, singer Jayme Chlumsky, based on his experience in dueling piano acts around the country.

Teaching is Mike's main focus today. He is an instructor at a local music studio and does private teaching as well. Mike is happy to work with students of all ages and skill levels, and looks forward to helping you or your child to reach your musical goals in a fun and positive learning environment!
