The voice of a generation is most often heard more clearly when spoken through the rhythmic sounds of music.  The chords produced by the engineer behind the boards plays a significant role in the message.  Without the ingenuity of the creative mind, the voice is naked and weightlessly flails upon deaf ears with little chance to be heard.  It is the producer who develops substance from what once was abstract and insignificant—captures the frolicking fusion of nature and technology and produces a pleasurable symphony.  He has the ability to take a cornucopia of drums, strings and woodwinds accompanied by a magnetizing voice that effortlessly stretches words atop a melodious syncopated arrangement of tune, pitch and bass to produce one sound that can speak to the hearts of many.  It is a gift that is granted to so few, yet so many approach the realm of the music world like pious pipers hoping they have the ability to appeal to the masses.

Michael Anthony Broadhead has been granted this gift. 

Not only has he been given the name of a saint at birth, he has been blessed with musical talent which enabled him to learn to play the keyboard, organ, bass and drums by ear.  Although his affinity for music was established at a very young age, Michael Anthony never received any formal training to enhance his aptitude for musical instruments.  It wasn’t until he was thrust into the inner workings of a small church that he was able to fine-tune his love for music.  At Emmanuel Tabernacle Baptist Church, located in his hometown, Hempstead, New York he was allowed the opportunity to develop his skills.  What once began as encouragement from a congregation, metamorphosed into the first stage of the development of a producer of gospel music.

His contributions at this small church went from “back up” to lead organist and then to Director of Music by the age of fifteen.  Added responsibility brought forth Michael’s musical ability and professional attitude.  Under his auspices he promoted what once was a struggling storefront edifice of faith into a notable house of worship and praise.  After tasting his potential for greatness, his hunger grew and he delved into Christian stage plays and lent his orchestrating skills to several live recordings.  He was called upon to work alongside the Late Rev Timothy Wright, Daryl Coley, Rance Allen, James Bignon, James Hall, Marvin Sapp, Vanessa Bell Armstrong and other established moguls highlighted within the gospel halls of music. The multifaceted Michael Anthony Broadhead has affirmed himself as a songwriter, composer and musician solely on his love for musical worship and praise.  Curiosity has led him to do many mighty things in ministry and his continued appeal for what he endears will push him to the forefront.  Among the heavyweights of producers of gospel music such as Kirk Franklin, J. Moss and Fred Hammond, Michael Anthony Broadhead will definitely be a contender that won’t be denied.
