From: CA, United States
In addition to being the keyboard player for Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, Mike Schmid is also an award-winning singer/songwriter and classically-trained pianist with a degree in songwriting from Berklee College of Music in Boston.
He has also played with the Jonas Brothers, Billy Ray Cyrus, Sheryl Crow, Kenna, Chantal Kreviazuk, Ed King, Jeffrey Steele, Van Hunt, Aly & AJ and The Corrs, as well as many independent singer/songwriters, such as Connie Kim, Rich Jacques and Renee Stahl.
His songs can be heard on the Felicity Season Four DVD set, The Black Donnellys Season One DVD set and the Season Three and Four DVD sets of Everwood, as well as on various television shows including FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance," ABC's "All My Children," "The Bad Girls Club" and more.
In 2006, he released a big fat epic called "The High Cost of Living (A Love Story)" and a tiny little EP called "Snow Day." His new album, "The House We Built" (which falls somewhere in between), features a new recording of "Forget You," the best-selling download of the year for 2007 on broadjam.com. It was released on August 19, 2008.
