In 1995 he was nominated for country song of the year, “When Love Finds You,” with Vince Gill, and for Gospel Album of the Year, “The Light Inside,” with Gary Chapman. In 1994 Michael had the honor of producing “One Voice,” an album for the Summer Olympic Games. His song entitled “Atlanta Reel” was used as the theme for the swimming events.
He married Stormie Omartian in 1973 and shortly thereafter became a studio keyboard player winning Keyboard Musician of the Year from NARAS, the Grammy Award presenters. He soon began arranging and production work and in 1975 became a staff producer and artist with ABC Records. In 1977 he moved to Warner Brothers Records as a staff producer and remained with them for five years until he became an independent producer. Michael currently serves on the NARAS Board of Governors and also on the Board of Governors of Doxology Records.
