ABOUT

Hi, my name is Mike Cotoia. I am 30 years old. I have been playing drums for 25 years and professionally for 15 years. I have 12 years experience as a professional vocalist as well. I have touring experience and extensive studio experience. I play guitar at an intermediate level. My knowledge of music theory is at a semi-high level and I can decipher sheet music but not well enough to sight read. I learn songs very fast on drums and vocally and know at least 2000 songs. I am open to and love many many genres. I am quite eclectic but at my core, Pop, Rock, and Metal are the three categories of music I shine best on vocally. I am easy to work with and am open to critique and to suggestions. Hit me up any time at 561. 319. 2458.
