Glasgow-born singer, songwriter, and producer Michael Oakley is one of synthwave's most essential voices. His forthcoming album, Prologue is his most sweeping work yet.
Michael Oakley is the Glasgow-born singer, songwriter, and producer who helped define what Synthwave could sound like when it grew up. A self-taught musician and veteran of electronic music production, Oakley found his true calling in Synthwave and never looked back. Three critically acclaimed albums deep, his music has always been melancholic postcards from the heart, wrapped in synthesizers and drum machines. Now, after five years of deliberate craftsmanship, he returns with his most ambitious statement yet. Prologue isn't a sequel or a continuation, it's a declaration that something new is starting, fusing the euphoric energy of European dance music with the sweeping, architectural scope of Synthwave and his own assured singer-songwriter sensibility. The wait is over. The story begins.
