Michael Leclerc Music

Michael LeClerc was born in Chatham Ontario Canada. He always knew he wanted to become a musician and often caught himself daydreaming at the young age of four, about being on stage entertaining others. "Music was always playing around my house as a child" said LeClerc "I don't know why I just knew that was what I wanted to do." LeClerc sang in the choir at school starting at the age of eight, received his first guitar at the age of fourteen, joined the highschool band at the age of sixteen, where he had his first expereince singing in front of others, and at eighteen tried out for the school play and landed the lead role which is where he received the only vocal training he has ever had.

Growing up in a blue collar town, LeClerc has done everything from picking tobacco, working in a factory processing brake shoes (to raise money for college), working in the cornmill, just to name a few. After receiving his degree in Hospitality & Business Development LeClerc worked in several prestigious hotels in Ireland while pursuing his music career.

In May of 2007, LeClerc moved to the Cayman Islands. He started the band, “Smooth Bill” who was invited to open for the multiple Juno Award winning and Canadian Music Hall of Fame band, "The Tragically Hip" in the Cayman Islands, performing for 3,000 enthusiastic fans. "Smooth Bill" began circulating radio stations online and in the Cayman Islands. Michael decided to quit all other distractions and focus solely on his music career. In September of 2010, Michael recorded his solo EP at 4th Street Recording Studio, Santa Monica, CA produced by Platinum Producer, Jim Wirt (Incubus, Fiona Apple, Live, Hoobastank) and self released it in the Spring of 2011. It didn’t take long for the single "Radio" to get airplay on many stations throughout the US, Cayman Islands, and Canada. In the summer of 2011, LeClerc and well known Cayman Lead Guitarist Jonathan Ebanks toured the EP for 3 months throughout California. LeClerc has since moved to California and bought a van where he slept for many months while he concentrated on his career.

Michael is being featured at Wineries up and down the West Coast of California and has been a featured performer in the Renaissance Hotels RLIFE Concert Series featuring the best of emerging Indie artists playing as far north as Vancouver, British Columbia.

Bruno Mars, Robin Thicke, and Neon Trees are just a few big names that have also participated in the RLife Live program. LeClerc has been compared to artists such as James Taylor, David Gray, Jackson Brown, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, and Van Morrison.
