Michael Ross Pollack (born April 26, 1994) is an American songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer. He has written songs for artists such as Maroon 5, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Jonas Brothers, Backstreet Boys, Lauv, Ben Platt, Zedd, Lizzo, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion, Charli XCX, Dierks Bentley, Bebe Rexha, and many others. He achieved his first US Top 40 radio #1 in February 2020 with Maroon 5's "Memories".[1]
Early years and Billy Joel[edit]
Pollack and his older sister were raised by their parents in Roslyn, New York.[2] He started playing piano, singing, and writing songs at a young age. In his youth, he performed with a Billy Joel cover band and with Richie Cannata, Billy Joel's longtime saxophonist.[3]
After graduating high school, Pollack moved to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Vanderbilt University. During his freshman year, Billy Joel hosted a Q&A session for college students at Vanderbilt University's Langford Auditorium. During the Q&A, Pollack asked if he could perform "New York State of Mind" with the singer to which Billy Joel agreed.[4] A video of the performance was posted online and quickly went viral. The viral video landed Pollack appearances on NBC's Today show,[5] Good Day New York,[6] the Morning Mashup on SIRIUS XM Radio,[7] and The Jeff Probst Show.[8]
Music career[edit]
Pollack's viral encounter with Billy Joel led to him signing a joint venture publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and President of A&R at Atlantic Records Pete Ganbarg's Songs With A Pure Tone during his sophomore year of college.[2][9] Soon after, he started collaborating with other songwriters such as Ingrid Andress in Nashville while he finished his degree.[10]
After graduating from college, Pollack moved to Los Angeles, California to live with fellow musicians Ari Leff and Michael Matosic.[2] The trio went on to write dozens of songs for both Leff and others.
Pollack is managed by Jamie Zeluck-Hindlin,[11] founder of Nonstop Management.
Intervale Songs[edit]
In 2020, Pollack formed a publishing company called Intervale Songs.
Nick Sarazen, a songwriter and producer from Kingstown, Rhode Island,[12] was the first signee to Intervale Songs, in 2020.
