View art created by Michael Cartellone - LYNYRD SKYNYRD.

Michael Cartellone was born June 7, 1962 in Cleveland, Ohio. He began painting at the age of four and drumming at the age of nine. Music and art would be a simultaneous learning adventure throughout his childhood.

Michael's music career began at the age of 11 when he played his first bar. After many years on the club circuit, he moved to New York City when he was 22. After playing with former Roxy Music/UK keyboardist Eddie Jobson, and then former Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw, Michael found himself a member of the multi-platinum selling band Damn Yankees. This was the springboard for a career that has included recording and touring with John Fogerty, Peter Frampton, John Wetton, Freddie Mercury, Cher, Adrian Belew, Accept and now the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Michael's art career has included a New York City (Soho) gallery show, as well as galleries in Washington, D.C., Phoenix, Colorado (Ft.Collins), Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Long Island, New York
