Michael Barton

Michael’s career as a bassist began in the suburbs of Chicago, performing with college ensembles while still in high school, and frequenting clubs in the city before having a driver’s license. These early experiences led him to the University of North Texas, where he earned a Bachelor’s (1998) and Master’s Degree (2000) in Jazz Studies. There he learned the language of music, composition and arranging – and experimented with audio recording and production. After graduating, he continued working as a session player and sideman in Dallas.

In the college library, Michael had studied not only music but the images that surrounded it. Returning to Chicago in 2002, he began to expand his art beyond music, to visual creation and photography. In less than a decade, he progressed from receiving his first camera, to full-time photographer, to decorated Master of Photography. His work has seen publication in numerous international photography magazines, been displayed in galleries across the United States, and garnered a long list of awards and accolades. With his accomplishments as a photographer, he became an in-demand educator, teaching throughout the United States. In 2013, he became the youngest-ever recipient of a Fellowship from the American Society of Photographers. Following this achievement, Michael began seeking ways to reconnect his love of visual art with his obsession for music.
