Smiley Mikey (Country Tracks)

Nevada composer Michael Sion covered the music beat as a newspaper reporter out of college, and later began writing songs as "Smiley Mikey," despite having no formal training. With earworm hooks, quirky lyrics, and strong vocal performances, his Pop songs began garnering radio airplay. Michael's Dance-Pop song "Wishful Thinking," with vocals by Audrey Karrasch from "The Voice," has gotten spins on both of Reno's Top 40/CHR stations and was in rotation on KORQ in Texas. His Synth-Pop "Lost In the Music" was in rotation on Reno's Bob FM.
