“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” 

Martin Luther King Jr. 

I have told myself that over and over through my life and I plan to work hard and give it my best. I am excited to be apart of such an elite group and I look forward to working with the professionals that keep music moving forward. 

My name is Michael “MYK” Roberts and I was born in Chicago, IL. I was the youngest of my brothers and sister, and at the age of five I started piano lessons.  After some great theory and jam sessions, I started playing the drums for my uncle’s church (Church on then Rock Chicago, IL). Growing up with five brothers and one sister, my house was never quite.

I attended Christian Community Academy Chicago, IL from my younger educational days, until the 6th grade, where I than attended Lincoln Elementary / Junior High School Dolton, IL. After graduating to Thornridge High School, I than became a young prodigy of my musical field.  (GO Falcons) Participating in my High School Marching, Jazz, Concert, Pit, and Symphonic band for four years straight and All-State in percussion for four years and All-American for two years. With the training and education from Mr. Eanes and my peers, I was able to audition for the United States Marine Corps Band and passed with flying colors. 

After attending the Armed Forces School of Music NAB Norfolk, I provided services such as Marine Bandsman, Motor Transport Chief, 1st Degree Black Belt Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructor, and Marine Recruiter, to say the least. As an Operation Iraqi Freedom / Operation Enduring Freedom Veteran, I am privileged to be born and home with family and friends, after enduring over a decade of faithful service to my country.  While traveling to different countries, I was blessed with the ability to fully understand different types of cultural music. 

I started as a musician and picked up on digital recording during the year of 2001.  Inspired by my farther, I began to work with Fruity Loops and Reasons.  After looking into attending Full Sail back in 2005, I had to wait until my military contract was up in order to attend Full Time.  But, it worked out like destiny when they offered Music Production Online.  In 2012, I was introduced to Garage Band, Main Stage, Logic Pro, Sibelius, and Pro Tools.  So, I would have to say my skills are being formed as I go through my journey as a humble student here at Full Sail University. 

Right now I am a current student at Full Sail University finishing my journey to success as a musical innovator. I would love nothing more than to surround myself with like-minded individuals who share similar purposes.  I really hope everyone enjoys what I listen to here on this page. I have a wealth of musical talent and as I become a civilian once again I am reminded how my life was inside the toughest military in the world. My musical talent has very emotional feelings in it and projects a sense of passion in one of many things nobody can take from you. Music! 

God Bless !
