MIKE VISAGGIO is the founder of Kinetic Element, involved in music since 1962, playing in New York City cover bands, progressive rock groups Randori (early ‘70s), Innervision (early ‘80s) recording four albums with singer-songwriter Billy Falcon’s Burning Rose in the years 1977-1981 and Richmond's legendary Strokers in the early 2000s. The veteran keyboardist began his foray back into progressive music, after a long hiatus, with a spiritually tinged solo CD called STARSHIP UNIVERSE in 2006, which served to indroduce him to the prog rock community. A spiritual Christian, Mike believes the overall tone of the disc is of hope and enlightenment. That sentiment carried over into the POWERED BY LIGHT project, a symphonic prog album which musically reflects organ and synthesizer giants like Keith Emerson, Tony Kaye, Rick Wakeman and Geoff Downes. His sensibility to the individual rights of man as the basis of liberty inspired the TRAVELOG album. Mike is 64 years old, still rocikng.
