Born in Memphis in 1981 but raised in Texas, Micah P Hinson didn't initially understand his uniqueness. For one thing, he is of Chickasaw descent, a Native American tribe known for being particularly fierce warriors. For another, his family belonged to The Church of Christ, which is, as he explains it, "one of the newest and the strictest and the most bizarre sects of Christianity."
As a teen, Hinson rejected his religious background and instead turned to music for inspiration, listening to industrial and alternative acts such as Skinny Puppy, My Bloody Valentine, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Along with his older brother, he began playing the electric guitar, writing songs that reflected those musical influences. At his brother's suggestion, though, Hinson began playing acoustic guitar, although he retained his edge - a trait that remains one of his music's most distinctive qualities to this day. His first album was released in 2004 on a UK based label, followed by 10 more. He has spent his time between Europe & the USA ever since.
After a period of profound personal and artistic transformation, Micah P. Hinson returns to thrill his audience with his latest album "The Tomorrow Man", a collection of new songs written in Spain and in Texas. This is his second collaboration with the Italian producer & guitarist Alessandro 'Asso' Stefana after his last album "I Lie to You". They are all new compositions, with the exception of the long lost country classic 'The Last Train To Texas', and all written from his present and current times. They are landmark songs in his life, he feels, stating, 'I have been searching for these songs my entire life. I've been on a lifelong voyage to find the perfect place where truth and understanding live, and thrive, in the forefront of my mind and my songs. I have found this place, and will be chasing this beast till my last days.'
