Michael Wayne Dill, born on July 4th, 1969 in Dickson, Tennessee. However, in the middle of his 9th grade year his father relocated the family to Lynchburg, Virginia. During this time Michael discovered his passion for singing and music.

He actively participated in the high school choir and a

local church's youth group. After graduating high

school, Michael pursued an electrical apprentice

career while also performing as a singer in different

local rock and country cover bands. He achieved

some local success but eventually grew tired of

the band scene and took a break from music

and songwriting for a period of ten years.

In 2019, Michael made a comeback to the

music scene as an indie country rock artist,

forming a duo group calling themselves Dill &

Scott. After winning the "Duo EP of the Year" award

with their project "Wild & Free" they disbanded.

As a solo artist, Michael has received multiple

nominations & awards from the Josie Music Awards

out of Nashville. He has released a total of seven

albums, with four of them being nominated and

two winning the "EP Album of the Year" award.

Michael's music combines sounds of country,

rock, and pop elements, and resonates with a

wide audience through its heartfelt lyrics and

catchy melodies.

In the indie contemporary music scene,

Michael stands out as a talented artist.

Recently, he signed with Salter Gann

Universal Promotions & Management,

LLC, a highly-regarded management

team who has also won multiple Josie

Music Awards.
