The making of my new project, FAITH.
I am so grateful to my producer, Marty Funderburk, who helped me reach deep into my heart and capture the message of each song, and to engineers Justin Kroph and Anthony "Ziggy" Johnson for their masterful techniques and skills in making the best of the music tracks and mix. You guys rock, and I look forward to working with you both in the near future on more projects.
What's in the name, Michael B?
Last names are very important as they represent our heritage and family through multiple generations that span centuries. My family's last name is Burks, and I hold it with honor and respect. Reading it is easy, but try to pronounce that on the phone. The truth is, my last name Burks is a nightmare to understand on the phone, let alone in a concert setting or on the radio. It's rather funny, though, I have tried to say my name as clearly as possible, but interpretations range from BIRDS, BERTS, BURTS, VERTS, VIRTS, BURKES, BROOKS, BROOK, DERK, DIRKS, DIRT and so on. So, after careful consideration and consulting with friends in the Southern Gospel Music industry about the difficulty of my last name, they agreed with me that a catchy name like Michael B was in order. When you hear Michael B, you know you're hearing the easiest version of my name.
