Michael Lord is an American songwriter, composer, producer and Indie recording artist. His 2004 release SWAY found an audience when his song Smile was chosen by the Apple iTunes Music Store as their Single of The Week. Other songs from SWAY including "Bleed" and "Forgiven" soon found their way into hit television shows such as Alias and What About Brian. He followed SWAY with a mini EP titled The String Sessions reinterpreting the songs from SWAY acoustically with a string quartet. Lord wrote all string arrangements which were then performed by The Section Quartet.
In 2005 Lord worked with producer Desmond Child to arrange and record songs for American Idol's Season 4 Showstoppers Album resulting in the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Certified Gold Record.
Following the American Idol success he has turned his attention to music production producing tracks for Honey County, Quincy Coleman, Graham Colton, Courtney Jaye, Dilana, Paulina Gretzky and Chelsea Williams as well as writing songs included in NBC's hit comedy My Name Is Earl.
Currently Lord is composing, producing and arranging music for television, film and media. He recently composed the themes and underscore for NBC's hit game show The Wall hosted by Chris Hardwick.
