Mike could be Taiwan's busiest traveling performer, and with his explosive stage presence and emotionally driven songwriting it's no surprise. He has equal tendencies toward light or dark themes: confessional, bizarre, obsessive, comedic, angry, romantic, or dramatic.
A true one-man-band with acoustic finger-style and flat-picked guitar, harmonica-in-a-rack, ukulele, and foot percussion. His often self-deprecating songs range from alternative-folk, blues, roots, rock and alt-country, to gypsy, jump, and tin-pan-alley.
Mike has been a prolific songwriter for well over 10 years, and has written over 300 songs.
He has performed for audiences of 5 to 50,000 with his band Chen Mo 沉默之音 and as a solo artist.
Mike's musical adventures have taken him tens of thousands of miles, to eight nations and hundreds of cities and small towns. He can currently be found performing in the far-east.

一個既能夠震撼舞台又能寫出扣人心弦歌曲的單人樂團.

歌曲主題
麥克的歌曲主題很廣泛,或沉重,或輕快.
懺悔,幽默,憤怒,浪漫,奇幻,迷戀,或戲劇化的情感,他都能完整的抒發於音符之間.

演奏方式
麥克的風格獨特,他結合了特別的"手指技法木吉他"(相當於是鋼琴家在彈鋼琴時來彈吉他),和用撥片在木吉他上彈奏. 還有少見的架式口琴,烏克麗麗和輔助的敲擊樂器(鈴鼓,沙鈴).

歌曲類型
麥克是一個創作型歌手,他的歌曲類型從藍調,Roots, 搖滾,以民謠為原始方式來做音樂的非主流鄉村,吉普賽,結合了節奏爵士與藍調的Jump,和叮砰巷歌曲.

除了在錄音室裡盡情搖滾,我們也可以在營火旁聽到麥可唱著大家都熟悉的歌曲.他的舞台遍及了八個國家,與無數種不同的音樂場合. 他能用英文與西文譜出動人的歌曲,且很快就會加入中文到他的作品裡.
