Today! Two Music Business icons Under One Roof You tell me if I am exaggerating. Originally from Queens, NY, Michael began his career as a staff engineer at Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios, over a 9-year period working with a multitude of artists including, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Kiss, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Chic, Ike & Tina Turner and Hall & Oates. From there launching his engineering and mixing career with Billy Idol’s ferocious, Multi-Platinum album, ‘Rebel Yell’. Mike Gormley Ottawa-born Mike Gormley has achieved top recognition as a journalist, record company executive, artist manager, music supervisor for TV and films, and marketing/PR expert in 40+ years in the music industry. Gormley, as his friends call him, has been responsible for setting into motion many artists’ careers. His work has brought the world such successful artists as film composer Danny Elfman, the massively successful pop band The Bangles, and helped launch the careers of such diverse artists as Rod Stewart, Rush, BTO, The Police, and Supertramp. When Mercury Records was absorbed into the German-Dutch giant, Polygram, Mike assumed corporate public relations duties and helped establish the PolyGram brand in the U.S. Mike left A&M to start his own management firm LAPD, (Los Angeles Personal Development) with Miles Copeland, manager of The Police and founder of IRS Records (REM, The Go Go’s, Fine Young Cannibals, and others). Gormley eventually became the sole owner of LAPD. During this time, he convinced Danny Elfman, leader of the legendary band, Oingo Boingo to write the score for Tim Burton’s first movie “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” spawning Elfman’s mercurial climb to the top of the film composer world. Elfman, a multi-Oscar nominee is now considered one of the top five film composers in the world.
