Michael Chorvat

A very fun, intimate and memorable experience for everyone. You get an original personalized song about a topic, theme or person. I can write a completely original song from scratch, or I can write a parody of the song of your choice by any artist with original lyrics (like what Weird Al does). This creates a very unique song that will bring joy to all. It's perfect for events, conferences, weddings, anniversaries, engagements, celebrations, and parties of all kinds. I can also write jingles for company branding/marketing and theme songs for a movement. Looking for female vocals or a male/female duet? I can make that happen too! Female singer available upon request. I have some very talented female friends who sing professionally.

You'll get a customized and very professional sounding song that I will perform live for the audience. Just me and my acoustic guitar making for a truly intimate experience. Then you have the option for add ons. The first add on is a high quality recording of the song to give as a gift to the person or people being celebrated/honored, or as a gift to the entire audience. This can either be a stripped down acoustic guitar and vocal recording or a full band recording. I will provide a download link for the song that can be shared.

The second add on is a framed lyric plaque. This plaque includes the lyrics of the song on a platinum or gold record (your choice). A wonderful keepsake to remind you of the experience.

The third add on is a music video to the recorded song. This could be a photo or video montage of the event, or let your imagination come up with a music video concept that I can help you make a reality. It’s up to you. You will get the music video file that you can use for anything. You can also upload it to YouTube to share with anyone, or I can upload it to YouTube and give you a link to share.

The fourth add on is another song or multiple songs. I can write and record however many songs you would like for your event, brand, movement, theme, etc. Let me know if you need more than one song written, recorded and performed. I can for sure make it happen.

The fifth and final add on are my CDs as a takeaway gift for all of the audience members. I can give a great bulk deal on CDs and I can also autograph the CDs to make it extra special.

Thank you so much for considering having me at your next event or special occasion. I am grateful to be able to share my gifts with the world. Please contact me if you would like clarity on any of my musical offerings.

Santa Cruz, CA based spiritual singer/songwriter Michael Chorvat, and former front man of the once signed Chicago band Treaty of Paris, has one purpose in life. To Be the Light in the Dark. Michael invites you to join him in this possibility with his inspiring music, soulful and heartfelt voice, and his deep, meaningful lyrics that are sure to move you. Michael is no stranger to overcoming challenges and hard times. He has been through his fair share of grief, loss, heartache and most recently battling both anxiety and depression. This is what makes his music so universal. Through it all one thing remains constant. Michael chooses to rise up and never give up. His brilliant original songs and covers are created to touch your heart and the deepest part of your soul.

In 2014, Michael released his first solo album The Light, a musical journey through the chakras of the body containing affirmations and mantras in song form with the clear intention of awakening the spirit. Since then, Michael completed a year-long project writing and recording 52 songs that produced 2 albums, In the Key of Awakening and In The Key of Enlightenment released in 2018. Staying in constant creation, just a year later in 2019 he released a 6 song self recorded and produced EP titled The Darkness is the Light. Michael continued to release singles and music videos for his songs “Six Feet Away” (a COVID-19 love song) and “Magic” to share messages of hope during the pandemic in 2021, along with a very unique cover of “With Or Without You” by U2 featuring Indonesian Gamelan instruments.

Michael's latest 2022 independent music project Breakdown to Breakthrough is both prolific and eclectic diving into new genres and experimenting with new sounds. It tells his personal story, through sight and sound, of breaking through to find happiness once again after the end of an engagement and long term romantic relationship. Bravely recording and releasing one single and music video on YouTube a month for 16 months straight, Michael has chosen shine light on the dark of a variety of topics including true happiness, love, mental health, suicide and loss. Michael sees the darkness, challenges and unexpected circumstances we all experience as the greatest gift of learning, growth and transformation that ultimately bring us more into more joy, beauty and love. Michael Chorvat's music is available online on all streaming platforms and for download.
