Gender Neutral Vol 1 is a collection of Michael’s interpretations of classic hits most associated with female artists. The first single release is Madonna’s huge 1980’s hitTrue Blue. Other tracks include Hopelessly Devoted To You (Olivia Newton-John), Don’t Get Me Wrong (Chrissie Hynde/The Pretenders), The End Of The World (Skeeter Davis), and Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush).

In 2021 Michael hit the No.1 spot on the US NMW Indie Chart for 4 consecutive weeks with his self-penned song ‘Each Others Eyes’ (No.15 on the Top 40 Chart). As a direct result of the success in America, Michael was invited to perform at the London New Year’s Day Parade on 1st January 2022 – an event that was broadcast across the USA, Canada and beyond with an estimated viewing audience of some 500 million people!

2023 has been a difficult year so far for Michael. After a routine NHS Health Check in January, he was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes and Anaemia. Further tests found a mass in his left kidney which was subsequently confirmed as cancer. A 6-hour operation followed in May where the surgeons, with the aid of robots, were able to remove the tumour and save some of the infected kidney.

“The diagnosis came as a complete surprise. I hadn’t any symptoms or illness. Telling my children was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I can’t thank the NHS staff enough. They were incredible. If you get offered a free NHS health check, please go! It probably saved my life.” – Michael

About Michael Armstrong

Michael Armstrong was born in South London in November 1973. His parents were not in the slightest bit musical, although they did listen to music frequently. Michael remembers car journeys singing along and harmonising with his brother to The Beatles Greatest Hits. He knew from a very early age that he wanted to express himself through music and song.

After receiving great reactions to an EP, Michael set about recording his debut album ‘Michael Armstrong’ which was eventually released on 29th June 2015. It was met with resounding success, championed by the
late Terry Wogan on BBC Radio 2 and gaining airplayacross the globe. The album featured guitar giants Albert Lee (2 x Grammy Award Winner), Elliott
Randall (Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers) and Phil Palmer (Bob Dylan, Robbie Williams) and was produced by Keith Bessey (10cc, Cliff Richard, The
Ramones).

As a result of the album’s success, Michael has since been interviewed and has performed on just about every radio station in the land several
times over. He has additionally gained major airplay across the globe including the UK’s BBC Radio 2, and mainstream stations all over Europe, USA, Australia and South America, where his single ‘The Radio Years’ was a Top 10 hit. This has further led to numerous appearances on national TV such as ITV’s Lorraine, Sky News, BBC News, and ITN.

A dedicated touring artist, Michael has performed with some of the biggest names in the business. Hehas spent many years ‘on the road’ headlining his
own shows as well as appearing as a special guest on major tours with Leo Sayer, Vonda Shepard, T’Pau, Beverley Craven, Dean Friedman & The Hollies’
Peter Howarth. He has also collaborated and worked alongside massive global stars including Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Cliff Richard, Mark Knopfler, Glenn Fry, Chris de Burgh, Russell Watson, Hank Marvin, Michael Ball, Allan Clarke, Graham Nash, Marty & Kim Wilde and countless others.
In 2016 Michael released the official 60th Anniversary commemorative single for Liverpool’s famous Cavern Club and performed it on stage at the venue during a very special celebratory party which included many associated local and national dignitaries. That same year he was invited to open the GreatBritish Radio Reunion with his anthem ‘The Radio Years’ and was selected by his localauthority to perform and present an award at their Annual Local Heroes Awards Ceremony in conjunction with BBC radio.
