Mike Fagan is a singer/songwriter from Sydney. Growing up on Cape Breton Island has been very inspirational for him and moulded his style and his passion for music. Moving back to the beautiful island with all the local talent and fellow musician friends has encouraged Mike to continue writing music. His lyrics are raw, honest, and from the heart, inspired simply by some of the hardships and the beauties of life that a lot of us go through. Singing with a raw sound that’s delivered in a catchy folky style with a subtle rocky edge on the acoustic guitar, Mike makes these experiences more relatable to many.
