Michael Joe Vitale's musical history has roots in the mid 90s punk scene of the tri-state area. From there he went on to study Jazz at Temple University and performed in a Jazz trio around Philadelphia for a while. Upon relocating to the West coast he found himself joining up with some old friends to form a Progressive Rock band and performed in the Seattle area for a couple of years. Feeling homesick Mike relocated back to Philadelphia and began recording and performing Folk songs under his name, Michael Joe Vitale.

My own warden and prisoner. Anxiety rap from the liminal spaces. 🔥😬🔥 Exploring the treadmills we can't get off, the autopilot we didn't choose, and the hard mode we defaulted to without reading the instructions.

Current era of albums: 

• Self Less: the dark night after 10 years on autopilot
• Same River: starting over in between everything
• Coming Jan. 6, 2026: Parallels: looking outward to society's crises and relationships

Beats, vocals, production by me. Portland-based. Been at this since CD-Rs were the move. If you listen to Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, or Lin-Manuel Miranda, welcome home.
