John Michael Releases ‘Before This Drink Is Done’ Lyric Video feat. Noel Gourdin

TopNotch Music Group recording artist John Michael has released his Contemporary R&B single “Before This Drink Is Done” featuring Noel Gourdin along with a lyric video. The mid-tempo record was remastered and re-released on all digital platforms via InGrooves Music/Universal.

At the age of 23, John Michael has established himself as one of the premier singer/songwriters of the upcoming generation. Born in northeast Washington, D.C. and raised in Virginia, John Michael began writing at 16 years old. He has penned material for several distinguished producers who have worked with top artists such as Wale, Rick Ross, Lloyd, and Jay Sean.

Originally released in 2014, “Before This Drink Is Done” was written by John Michael & Noel Gourdin. UB Interviewed Noel that year and asked him, what inspires him when he goes into the lab to create new music?

A lot of things, from what I’ve gone through in my life. I have a pretty big family and we’re tight knit and we all talk to each other. When we’re going through ups and downs and things, I get a few calls a week asking for advice and such. It comes from family and where ever I just choose to pull that inspiration from, it’s a lot of it around me.” He went on to say; “Love is a powerful thing, people go through things just in everyday lives. It’s really just always trying to find something that people can pull from and find the inspiration in themselves. Through bad time, relationships or whatever, I would love to just make music they can turn to and happen to put a smile on their face. Like if I go through a tough time, they can listen to it and get advice from it. I try to make music that really touches peoples hearts and music they can relate to in their everyday lives. It’s hard enough living so something to make it a little easier. So when they put on some music to help, I would love for them to choose my name (laughs).

John Michael‘s persistent determination is currently leading him toward potential collaborations with major brands such as Budweiser and Nike, as well as songwriting projects with Scotland artist Kasey Monroe.
