Mike Nayar:
"From the streets of Fremantle to Sydney's ANZ Stadium and all around the world, Mike Nayar has clocked over 20 years as a professional musician and songwriter.
Since 1998 Mike has been developing his skills as a performer. From busking on the city streets to fronting well know Perth cover bands Audioperv and SideFX, he has forged a solid reputation for his passion, professionalism and self taught music ability.
Making the switch to original music in 2008 and forming rock
band My So Called Life, Mike soon received international acclaim when the band moved to America in 2012 to record their
Debut Album. It was his time in Los Angeles, inspired by the process of
recording, that finally motivated Mike to pursue music production as a full time career. Enjoying the creative challenge that came with writing his own music, Mike soon began branching out into other styles, collaborating on various projects from country to pop and RnB.
Returning to Australia in 2013 Mike Nayar is now a producer and professional song writer as well as fierce advocate for original music in WA. Donating his time to developing young, up and coming artists and helping to bridge the gap between new bands and venues.
Other notable achievements include a performance at the 2011 grand opening of The Hard Rock Cafe in Sydney along side musical greats such as Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses) and Dj Leathal (Limp Bizkit.) In early 2013 he performed at Sydney's Stone Music Festival with his band
My So Called Life which also included Aerosmith, Van Halen
and many more. Later that year Mike was invited back to Sydney
along with MSCL to perform live at The MusicOz Awards for which
they also had 3 songs nominated in the Rock category. In 2014 Mike opened
for Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson during his Western Australian solo tour.
At the start of 2016, Mike took his network of connections in the music industry and in partnership with long time collaborator and close friend Tony Croce, started The Guitar Strap Company. Mikes unique input into their products innovative designs helped bring new life to an otherwise stale market for musical accessories and with the contribution of celebrities like Gene Simmons (KISS) Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day) the company soon gathered world wide acclaim. An appearance on the television show Shark Tank saw them sign a $100K deal with Janine Allis and together, they secure a solid foot hold in the international market. In 2019 at The NAMM Show in Anaheim, California TGSCo. stole the show and set a world record for most expensive guitar strap with the aptly named "The Show Stopper" valued at $1.2 million.
Now Mike Nayar devotes the majority of his time to The Guitar Strap Company but is still writing and producing for artists as well as his own solo material."
