“HE HAS THE PIPES TO COMPETE WITH SAM SMITH AND JAMES BLAKE, BUT HE BRINGS SOME PSYCHEDELIA TO THE SOUND, LIKE SAM COOKE ON ACID.”
A heartbreak kid rooted with a voice of pain and grit, Michael McQuaid is a Dallas native making a name for himself in Nashville. His sound infuses a clash of blues, soul and heart stopping beats to cultivate a new class of R&B. He deviates from his peers with his innate ability to harmonize the use of production and organic instruments.
McQuaid’s independently released single, “VIBES” received radio play due to its popular demand. His infectious style gained him traction all over the U.S. and U.K, leading him as a featured artist at SXSW – making one thing clear, his live shows are as dangerously contagious as his melodies.
Currently in the process of taking his brand of sound to the next level, McQuaid is building on future endeavors by teaming up with Nashville’s top writers and producers.

Interested in a Topline or professional session vocals?
I am a professional session vocalist, topliner and songwriter with 10+ years of experience. My songs have been featured on various tv shows on NETFLIX, MTV, FOX, LIFETIME, & more. I put passion and emotion behind everything I sing. I work with all different types of writers, artists, and producers. I'm looking to expand those opportunities with people like you!
I put passion and emotion into every song. Behind my vocal and songwriting influences are Ryan Tedder, The Neighbourhood, Jacob Banks, Sam Smith, Miguel, Chris Cornell, Robert Plant, Sam Cooke, & Otis Redding. Every song has a personal touch while being commercially viable. You will always receive professional grade recordings from me!
My average turn around is 1-5 days. I comp and tune all the vocals myself.
I look forward to collaborating with you on your next project and making your vision come to life :)
