Mike Pilgermayer/
Born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, writing , performing and recording music has always been a huge part of my life. My first guitar teacher was John Oates. I was 12. I also studied jazz guitar with Steve Giordano and after attending Combs College of Music, I played the original band circuit in philly, and produced jingles. Life has been good! I'm now living in the Poconos .
My band "Soul Q" combines rhythmic grooves , magnetic melodies and memorable lyrics that take the listener in many directions . This 3 piece powerhouse uses rock, jazz , funk and folk to create a unique sound that is honest, raw and real.
Based in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania this music veteran has been through House bands, 70’s fusion , 80’s new wave, and 90’s grunge, only to escape unscathed and emboldened to move forward .


Mike's alter ego "Sapien Mahaded" mixes poetry, created language, and effects to form an unusual and captivating new edge to the spokenword genre.

Sapien's spokenword submission "Celebration" won The Big Push Competition on American Idol Underground.

Sapien has also held the 1st, 2nd,and 3rd positions on the "Independent Artists Companany's" charts.
