Chi Coltrane has said, "Usually in the case of a rock band, if you take away the band and just leave the singer with the guitar, it's not very impressive; but in Drive's case, it's completely different. If you were to take away the band, you would see that he shines; like a multi-faceted diamond. His voice is unique...his musicianship, and his songwriting are excellent."
Michael Drive was born and raised in L.A. but in 2003 he moved to Paris and moves around Europe (touring mostly France, Germany and Switzerland) playing venues and recording songs with other musicians he crosses on the road. He has been playing as an opener for the de Palmas and has a new recording out "One Direction Left...From Hell". Some of the lyrics from his title song are:
There's a boy reaching for his girl
But her eyes are reaching for someone else
As he crawls around inside her soul
Trying desperately to touch her there
But she's far away and he does not know
That today she'll say goodbye.
