Paul Cannon, a descendent of the Kumeyaay nation, wrote the popular tune, “Love Your Life,” a song that depicts the struggles of Native Americans living in a modern western society. Derived from Cannon’s upbringing on the San Pasqual Indian Reservation, Paul’s message serves as a reminder “that no matter what we face or where we come from, we should love this one life we are given.”   The humble talent gravitated towards music during a troubled youth. Cannon floundered between the streets and the judicial system sporting “reckless, dysfunctional behaviors” that included drug addiction and gang violence.   Blessed by the “shining light of the kindness of others,” Cannon admits to a desire to “save himself, to do and be different and have a colorful life.” Today, the certified Native healer works with closely with Native youth who suffer from PTSD, trauma related issues and works with them in reconnecting family to help “heal ourselves and the world around us.”   “My path led me to become who I am today, I use my dark experiences to teach the younger generation to believe that we can live the life that’s in front of us. With the help of my wife and family, I’ve skyrocketed. I’ve excelled to surpass my own expectations of what I thought life should be.” –Paul Cannon  Paul’s dynamic, melodic and soulful tunes have captured the hearts of music lovers through his ability to fuse music with concepts of mindfulness, respect and integrity. Cannon, weaves melodies with philanthropy, wowing audiences with his message, “we have everything we need inside of us.” Paul’s holistic approach to spirit, family, friends and nature creates a family-oriented and culturally diverse musical experience that encompasses musical styles of Native Americana, folk and reggae.  
Cannon’s accomplishments also include writing a hit song with Jason Mraz as well as the San Diego Padre theme song – “Homegrown” –  

When not creating music, Cannon serves as Co-founder and Director of Operations and Creative Services for Indigenous Regeneration, a non-profit that operates a six-acre farm on his Reservation that educates on sustainable living practices, environmental awareness and climate change response strategies, solar harvesting, water collection, food cultivation, medicinal farming, primitive survival skills, regenerative agriculture concepts and sustainable building techniques for future economic growth on Indigenous lands.  In 2016 Cannon, Damian DeRobbio and Abner Nevarez formed the trio Iron Sage Wood. Later came the renowned Chrisotpher Cooper on keys and melodica. A soulful groove combined with world rhythm and conscious lyrics, Iron Sage Wood inspires audiences to laugh, dance and sing-a-long. Writing songs of hope and transformation, their work encourages an uplifting human experience all while blending elements of world beat, folk and "Native Americana".

Michael Borowski was born in Souderton, Pa, a suburb of Philadelphia. As the son of a highly decorated and respected piano teacher, Cindy Borowski-Burns, Michael’s piano journey started at the early age of 4. While growing up, Michael’s musical interests mainly lay with Classical composers, such as Beethoven, Debussy, Copeland, and Barber. These influences remain with his music today. He was always a fan of Beethoven for his willingness to break the rules, and compose more from his heart. Debussy was in that same category. In fact, Michael still refers to a particular quote of his: "Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art." 

When Michael was about 10 years old, his mother took him to see George Winston at the Academy Of Music in Philadelphia, Pa. That moment inspired Michael to start composing his own music, and improvise daily at the piano. He learned Winston’s full album, “December” by ear, and performed it, along with his own original music anywhere he had a chance. It became his dream and focus to compose, improvise, and perform music for the world to hear. 

Michael went on to study Music Composition at Temple University. There he studied with pianist Charles Abramovic, and composer Maurice Wright. It was at Temple where Michael started playing in bands, and became a highly sought after Keyboard player, particularly in the Jam Band scene. He has toured nationally with various acts such as Manic Mule, Dirk Quinn Band, MiZ, and Philadelphia based Grateful Dead tribute band, Splintered Sunlight. 

Aside from music, Michael is a lover of life, family, and nature. He is a proud father and an amateur beekeeper. Michael also is a strong advocate for finding a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. Michael’s mom, Cindy, who gave him the gift of the piano, passed away from the disease in 2018, after a 12 year struggle. He spends many hours volunteering for the Alzheimer’s Association’s Delaware Valley Chapter. He frequently plays concerts to raise funds to help find a cure. 

Michael currently resides in the Philadelphia area with his lovely wife. 

In 2020, Michael gained the attention of Windham Hill Records founder, and Grammy winning producer/Artist, Will Ackerman. It is a dream come true for Michael to be working with Will. His work as an artist and as a producer has influenced Michael's music from a very early age. Ackerman will be producing Michael’s next record at his Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont, which is due out in November.
