| Michael Preston Vocals / Traditional Country / Contemporary Country Clayton, NC Toby Keith Look-A-Like/ Singer
Mr. Toby Keith and I share more than just looks. When people first started telling me that I looked like him, my wife and I decided to look into his background. We knew some of his music, but we didn't know anything about Toby himself. As we started to look into his background, what we found were some really strange similarities. We're both about the same size, he's an inch taller than me at 6'4". We both played semi-pro football, one position apart. He's very patriotic and I spent 6 years in the military. We're both very big supporters of our men and women in the military. Toby is the spokesman for Ford trucks and I've been driving Ford trucks before I ever knew who Toby Keith was. A couple of years ago, I got up the nerve to start singing. People kept saying, "You look like him, can you sing?" Well, I got brave one night at a bar that was doing kareoke. I loved it! Now, you have a hard time keeping me away from a mic. I really love to entertain people. I've started to do birthday parties and corperate events.
Last year, I started working with a couple of charities. Both deal with special needs children. both Special Blessings and Smiles 4 Little Faces are local organizations that help families with handicapped children. I'm always happy to volunteer my time to help them. For me, children are the best. They are the most honest, pure souls on Gods Earth.
Last year, I did my first tv commercial for Pizza Inn. My wife and I had the best time on the set. I became hooked on acting at that point. When a local radio station (FM99 www.999genuinecountry.com ) asked me to appear in their tv spot, I jumped at the chance. I love doing tv.
Like many others, I've finally gotten around to having a myspace page. www.myspace.com/michaelwpreston. Feel free to contact me there as well as here.

PROFESSIONAL INFO

Influences:
| I'm a huge fan of Toby Keith. He writes almost all of his own music and it's honest music. Randy Travis's music is just wonderful to sing. Songs like 3 Wooden Crosses and Angels are such positive songs. Charlie Daniels music is full of stories such as The Devil Went Down to Georgia and The Legend of Whooley Swamp. No one tells a story quite like Charlie. | |
