Michael B Sutton

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Feeling Sound Podcast. We’re delighted to have you with us for this special episode, brought to you once again with the generous support of Kanaval Consultancy—An independent law firm specialising in corporate, commercial, and intellectual property legal services.Today, we’re taking a trip down memory lane with a true musical legend, Michael B Sutton. Sutty, as he’s known, spent seven incredible years as a staff producer and writer at Motown Records, where he collaborated with some of the biggest heavyweights in the music industry.Discovered by none other than Stevie Wonder himself, Sutty has composed and produced for icons like Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Cheryl Lynn, and many more. With a career spanning over four decades, his portfolio boasts over 300 tracks, including the disco classic ‘Down to Love Town’ by The Originals.But Sutty isn’t slowing down. Along with his wife Anissa, he has embarked on a campaign of new releases seeking to revive some of the classic sounds of that vibrant disco era—all infused with the uplifting Motown sound of the 1970s and the therapeutic qualities that funk brings with it. This 'Funk Therapy,' as Michael calls it, is a true celebration of the healing power of music.We had the privilege of catching up with Sutton online at his Los Angeles studio, and we kicked things off by asking him about his earliest musical memories
