Michael Chorvat

Without dark there is no light. That’s the duality of the universe we live in. In this regard, sometimes bad things need to happen to awaken a person into a more positive way of living. Former Treaty of Paris front man (2005-2010) and singer/songwriter Michael Chorvat’s story is no different. After the sudden passing of his mother a few years ago, he started searching for meaning in his existence. The age old questions of, “why am I here?” and “what’s my purpose in life?” consumed him and so his spiritual journey began. The songs on Michael Chorvat’s first solo album, titled "The Light", tell the story of his spiritual awakening and are intended to inspire others to take their own inner journey. The album is meant to serve as positive affirmations to awaken the listener to the universe within. So much so that you could call the album a self-help book in musical form. In addition to songwriting, Michael practices Reiki, a healing technique based on the principle of channeling energy into a person by means of touch Reiki helps activate natural healing in the body and put the body’s chakras, or energy centers of spiritual power, in balance. Similarly, each song on "The Light" represents a chakra of the body and takes the listener from the crown chakra down to the root chakra. The album is balancing, energizing, heartwarming and even thought provoking at times. It's music for the soul. The concept of duality also teaches one must give to receive. Michael wasn’t satisfied with the thought of releasing music the traditional way and for personal gain. Instead he wanted to put some positivity into the world and use his music to help others less fortunate. That’s why he's donating 50% of the profits from the sales of his album "The Light" to a charity called Action Against Hunger, a top-rated global humanitarian organization committed to ending world hunger. Michael has already raised over $4,000 for the charity from an Indiegogo campaign he ran in 2014 (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/i-want-to-use-my-music-to-feed-the-world). Even though the campaign is over, he continues to donate 50% of the proceeds of album sales to community nonprofits for the highest good of all. In February 2017, Michael embarked on a year long adventure of releasing one song a week for the next year. He has dubbed it "The Endless Road: A Year in the Flow". This is Michael's biggest commitment to music and one he is taking very seriously. Why is he doing it you ask? Because it's Michael's purpose in life to inspire and transform people through music.

I write music for the soul that is meant to inspire and transform because we're all one and born from the same source into the light.
