Biography:

As well as being the keyboardist for Miley Cyrus, Mike Schmid is an award-winning singer/songwriter and classically-trained pianist with a degree in songwriting from Berklee College of Music in Boston.

In addition to Miley/Hannah Montana, he has played with the Jonas Brothers, Billy Ray Cyrus, Sheryl Crow, Kenna, Chantal Kreviazuk, Ed King, Jeffrey Steele, Van Hunt, Aly & AJ and the Corrs as well as many independent singer/songwriters, such as Connie Kim, Right the Stars and Renee Stahl.

His songs have been played on "So You Think You Can Dance," "All My Children," "The Bad Girls Club," "Felicity," "The Black Donnellys" and more.

His self-titled debut album was unleashed upon the world in 2001. In 2006, he released a big fat epic, "The High Cost of Living (A Love Story)" and a intimate little EP, "Snow Day." His new album, "The House We Built" (which falls somewhere in between), features a new recording of "Forget You," Broadjam.com's best-selling download of the year for 2007. It was released on August 19, 2008, and quickly became a bestseller and an Editor's Pick on CDBaby.com.

His new album for kids (and kids-at-heart), "Let It Out", releases August 23!
