A little bit about me...

My name is Michael Bishop and I started writing music and playing guitar at a young age but life gets in the way so it was on and off for a while. Music is a passion of mine and I love to create. The black dog you see on my album covers is Jaedah, she's a good girl. I draw from life experiences when I write but doing everything by myself is not easy so I try to be as resourceful as I can. I've been through a lot and I've made it this far so I guess you could say I have been... Surviving It All.

Surviving It All is my music. The tagline is 'Music for the broken ones', and I mean it. I make heavy alternative rock for people who have been through a lot and are still here. I have two albums so far. Black Labs Matter is my debut album. It came out on December 19, 2025, and it has 21 tracks, including 'Believe', 'Hopeless', 'Broken' and 'Losing'. Reality Hits Hard is my second album. It came out on April 16, 2026, and it has 13 tracks, including 'Become', the most popular track, along with 'Angels', 'Changes' and 'Holding on'. The black dog on the album covers is Jaedah, she is a good girl, and she is on both covers. You can listen to both albums on the Music page. Start with the album that speaks to you and listen through in order. Both albums are © Defective Masterplan. If you want to reach me about the music, use the contact form at the bottom of the page.
