"I am not a rockstar. I am not a rockstar. I am NOT a rockstar..."
It's easy to say that Gavin Mikhail may take it a little overboard with his mantra of not ever becoming like every other artist, but he really means it. No gimicks, no special privileges, Gavin Mikhail is at his simplest just a singer/songwriter. And it's in the rawness of his personality that people are so easily drawn to him. Maybe it's because without the barriers of his image he can truly connect with his audience through what he writes. The music becomes more real than before.
Classically trained, Gavin offers a unique touch to an already saturated genre of music. Building on his pop influences from an early age, he has managed to create a sound that is as powerful as it is beautiful. Equal parts Vanessa Carlton and Dashboard Confessional, Gavin's songs are driven by rhythmic piano, soaring vocals, and unforgettable melodies, truly capturing the listener from start to finish.
