 Michael Troy
Entirely self-taught, Michael Troy took it upon himself to master his chosen instrument by eschewing the suburban rite of passage known as “piano lessons” in favor of kneeling at the feet of several masters via the marvels of modern audio recording and the benefit of a really good ear. Michael combines classical, rock and traditional pieces to create unique arrangements. He and his music have begun to attract international attention. He was the subject of a feature profile in Keyboard magazine and has a vibrant online presence. Recently he handled keyboard duty for Yngwie J. Malmsteen’s Rising Force on tour and recorded the keyboard arrangements on Malmsteen’s instrumental album, Angels of Love.
