Michael’s experience in music led to his invention, the StompLight. This performance lighting pedal with high quality LED that only takes 30 seconds to set up can be seen at http://stomplight-international-llc.myshopify.com Anyone from professional stage musicians to street musicians and buskers can use it. Michael will also take the StompLight on the road at the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) show this summer.
