BIO Backed by over 20 years of experience in the music industry, Mike Binder is a renowned industry professional, and a respected music teacher across the Las Vegas circuit. Having played guitar since he was just seven years of age, Mike produced his first record at 14, with LA punk outfit Downfall, and toured as bassist for Chasing Furies at just 19. His journey has been one fully immersed in music, and as a result, his passion for helping artists reach their full potential, and build the skills required to excel, is unquestionable. Currently a member of the band Crush, with whom he performs three days a week at Fremont Street Experience, Binder has performed on a plethora of renowned stages, and recorded and produced hundreds of records with successful artists and YouTube Sensations alike. From Grammy nominated names like Gungor, Katie Herzig, and Rachael Lampa, to internet sensations like Tyler Ward, Lindsey Stirling and Alex G, Mike’s collaborative experience and knowledge are second to none. In addition, his time spent studying mixing with audio guru and multi Grammy-winning producer / engineer Manny Marroquin, in France, 2014, helped vastly broaden his understanding and abilities in music production. Mike plays on the Vegas strip casino stages every weekend, and appears alongside local artists like Franky Perez, Wayne Newton, Eden Stollmen, Chandiss, and Megan Ruger. In between running his own recording studio, teaching, writing and recording, Michael plays not only guitar, but bass, piano, dobro, banjo, ukulele, drums and percussion. He’s been giving private music lessons for over fifteen years, and welcomes all ages and levels of experience. His friendly, accessible approach unites with a working transparency, and a passion for allowing students to learn the songs and styles that interest them. His aim is to build upon an existing love for music, to reveal the artist’s own unique sound, and to open the door to creative expression and skill for any and all aspiring musicians. Boasting testimonials from American Idol and The Voice contestants – Tiffany Lemay, Kay Kay Alexis, Juan Pablo and Reynan – with current students including Mike Tyson’s son, MGB Music is one of the most highly acclaimed studios on the scene. Built with the utmost professional, world class gear and tech, it makes for the ideal space within which to take your music to the next level. While a classic rock fan at heart, Mike teaches any and all genres and styles of music. Lessons take place either at Mike’s studio in Las Vegas, two blocks off the strip, or online via FaceTime or Skype. Get in touch via his Website for bookings or further information.

Michael Binder has a rare mix of both creative and technical genius! As a musician his talent (guitar/bass etc.) is on par with any session players in Nashville or L.A., while his abilities as a producer to take a raw unfinished song and bring it to life is nothing short of amazing. For me as a singer-songriter the things that I appreciate most about MGBmusic are:1. Work ethic. Michael works hard, going over and above to make the music that is in someones head and heart the best i can be.2. Ears. Michael hears the nuances of music with uncanny clarity. 3. Understanding of digital and analogue tools. From Pro Tools to Tube Pre-Amps and beyond.4. Does his homework. From listening to reference songs to actually learning a new instrument if the song is demanding it. 5. The room. recording and mixing in a big open space translates to the tracks. I am excited to continuing working with MGBmusic in the future.

Mike Binder is not only one of the best guitarists I've ever met, he also has an incredible talent of writing, producing, recording, and engineering music. I've been lucky enough to work with Mike in his studio for the past 6 years and I'm astonished by how easy and fun it is to work together. Mike competes with all of the current producers, studio musicians and song writers. Every time I've worked with Mike on any projects, I'm thoroughly content with the final product. I'm giving Mike a 5 star rating and encouraging others to look into working with him because of three reasons. 1) Mike stays professional yet he's fun to work with.2) Mike plays multiple instruments very well, constructs creative atmospheres and has flexible hours.3) Mike instructs students in a very knowledgable and easy to understand manner. He's passionate about music which creates a passion in everyone around him. He produces almost every style of music, loves working with diverse bands, and last but not least, Mike will work on a project until the customer is completely satisfied.I've worked with other music instructors/ studio producers and musicians and Mike is hands down the best of the best. I have nothing negative about my experiences with Mr. Mike Binder. Love the guy and I'll continue working with him! -Jason Levy (a VERY satisfied customer).

I just finished recording 3 original songs at MGB Music with Mike and Nyaio. My first song was with Nyaio, and he did an amazing job understanding what I was going for and working with me to get the best version of my work I could get. He was super capable, so I was never waiting for him to do this or that. We got set up and went to work. Mike helped me record the other 2 songs, and he was evn more impressive! His imput and musical experience made all the difference. He is truly in love with music and wants the same thing any artist does, to put your best foot forward creatively. He will absolutely help you do that, trust him, he knows what he's doing. I will absolutely be back!
