Louis F Poss with Irene M. Poss (My Mother and Father).

Raised in a musical household in the Southwest side of Chicago, vocalist Michael Poss found his muse in college by performing in local musical productions. He signed with agent, the late Shirley Hamilton and booked jobs singing commercial jingles, modeling, and acting in local dinner theater that led Poss moving to Los Angeles in 1985 involving himself in the nightclub scene there. After landing some roles on daytime soaps and an NBC sitcom, he independently recorded and produced a CD single entitled Christmas in Chicago, which earned him local success on his hometown radio stations. 1996 saw the release of I Can Feel You in My Heart, a pop album consisting almost entirely of Poss' own songs, and in 2000 he released a collection of classic film love songs, (some of the songs were his Mom and Dad's favorites) entitled Silver Screen Serenades in which he was pre-nominated for a Grammy in Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category for the 44th Annual Grammy Awards. Fellow recording artist, Rosemary Clooney won the award that year.
