COLDIRON

Michael Linden Coldiron was born February 8, 1967.  As a child, I discovered music, first through the violin and then the piano.  My early classical piano training provided a strong foundation that has stayed with me.  As a teenager, I introduced myself to the guitar. Early influences were Led Zeppelin, Rush, Pink Floyd, Journey and Joe Satriani.  My ambition to become a professional musician began to take shape before I moved to California to attend California Polytechnic...

Michael Linden Coldiron was born February 8, 1967.  As a child, I discovered music, first through the violin and then the piano.  My early classical piano training provided a strong foundation that has stayed with me.  As a teenager, I introduced myself to the guitar. Early influences were Led Zeppelin, Rush, Pink Floyd, Journey and Joe Satriani.  My ambition to become a professional musician began to take shape before I moved to California to attend California Polytechnic State University.  While at school, I also pursued my musical interest.  It wasn’t difficult to enjoy performing as a soloist and still make good grades. With weeks shy of graduating from Cal Poly and signing a solo recording contract in 1991 (Sony—-Records), I was hit by a car.  Since then due to the accident and receiving an emergency tracheotomy, I have grown with no direct path for my music. Music is still my world.  I wrote the song WAR in 1990 and recorded the song unprofessionally at a family reunion the same year.  I now share my song thru the New Music Revolution, Ourstage. Please take the time & listen to my song as I recorded it at my family's reunion in 1990.   My song called "WAR" is alive today for our United States military.  "No one wanted to fight this ruthless war -  Sit back idle do we know what’s in store - The knife cuts deeply right down to the core -  I hate to say it  - We gotta fight this war……....  Let's not fight for oil -  Let's fight for freedom  - We should fight for this right to stomp a social injustice -  If we don’t then who will - If we don’t then who will" My hope is to share my words in the song "WAR" with our “Brave young Soldiers” and our nation. Thank you!
