Grammy-nominated and multiple Dove Award-winning songwriter and producer Michael Farren migrated to Nashville from Texas 16 years ago after signing and subsequently releasing three albums on Word Records with his band Pocket Full of Rocks. In 2012, after many years of touring, Michael shifted his focus to songwriting and production. Raised with a deep love for all kinds of music, Michael has penned hundreds of songs that span multiple genres—and more recently, he’s leaned heavily into country.

From Lauren Daigle’s Grammy-nominated and now platinum single “Trust In You,” Reba McEntire’s Grammy-winning album title track “Sing It Now,” to Christine D’Clario’s Dove Award-winning Spanish album of the year “Eterno Live,” Michael has enjoyed diverse success. His recent country cuts include songs recorded by Zach Williams (including co-writes like “Walls Fall Down” with Lee Brice), Lee Brice (featured on For KING + COUNTRY’s “Checking In”), Abby Anderson, and Max McNown (tracks like “97” and “From Me To You”).

His first commercial cut was the global worship anthem “Let It Rain,” which appeared on Michael W. Smith’s RIAA-certified double platinum album “Worship.” Over the last two decades, numerous artists have sung Michael’s songs, including Zach Williams, Reba McEntire, Cory Asbury, Natalie Grant, Mandisa, Blind Boys of Alabama, Alisa Turner, Finding Favour, Unspoken, Phillips Craig and Dean, Big Daddy Weave, Aaron Shust, Karen Peck, Brian Free and Assurance, Darlene Zschech, CityAlight, Abby Anderson, Lee Brice, and Max McNown.

When he’s not fishing or running around in the woods in his Jeep, you can find Michael at his restaurant, The Bourbon Gospel, in Columbia TN with his wife Alisa and two daughters Madison and Mykah.
