Mike DeSorda
The Songwriter
Mike DeSorda is an original songwriter creating timeless songs across country, folk, bluegrass, blues, rockabilly, rock, jazz, pop, and Americana traditions. His catalog is connected by memorable melodies, vivid storytelling, and a vintage sensibility inspired by the great songwriting of earlier musical traditions.
Shaped by the blues, rock, pop, jazz, country, and folk of the 1950s–1970s, his work carries a vintage sensibility with a fresh narrative focus. His songs are primarily emotional ballads, with each one guiding its own genre and direction. As he puts it, every song “tells me what genre it needs to be.”
For Mike, songwriting begins with lived experience and aims to move listeners while also inviting reflection that lingers beyond the final note.
Based in Prescott, Arizona, he produces music under his indie label Granite Mountain Sounds, LLC. His debut songwriter album, Better Late Than Never, was released on June 5, 2026, featuring original songs performed by a range of artists.
