Mike Gatto has been actively involved in the music industry since the tender age of 13, when he started out as the lead guitarist and co songwriter of the innovative alternative rock band, Soma.
Mike continued his musical career, after Soma, as a solo artist and has performed all over the north of England as well as several BBC radio plays for his critically acclaimed debut E.P 'A Guilty Kind Of Pleasure'. On the success of 'A Guilty Kind Of Pleasure' Mike signed a publishing deal with Sunshine HQ and has sparked the interest of A & R men from Virgin Records. Recently Mike has also began collaborating with hip-hop duo TGM (www.facebook.com/Turretgunmuzik) on a track from their debut album, 'Way We Act' and is now working with them on another track for their follow up album. Now situated in Newcastle, Mike has finished self recording and producing his new album, Too Old To Club which is available online at mikegatto.bandcamp.com and soon to be available as a physical CD (artwork by Ben Ducker Design) and from all other good online distributers.
Mike is now finally forming a band to perform his music live to coincide with his solo performances. The band includes prelific songwriter and arranger Rob Waters (www.reverbnation.com/robwaters). as well as Bassist and aranger Jamie Shields and Phenominal all round musician Chris Kinley on Drums.
