Michael Olivieri is currently the singer for
Leatherwolf. He also has a solo project called M.O.B. If
you read my page called Music & Me you should know that
Leatherwolf was the VERY first band I ever met. And they
started a literal firestorm that would last for a good 10+
years. They were a super cool bunch of guys and not only did
we get to hang with them all day but we also got to see them
play live. Michael is a perfect lead singer. He has the looks,
the voice, the whole package! He's also really sweet and I had
the pleasure of interviewing him recently.
