Biography

Michael Dwyer writes about music and the people who make it. From Rolling Stone (USA) and Melody Maker (UK) to The Age and the Guardian in his home country, Australia, he has been published by iconic pop culture mastheads over four decades. He has also been employed as a street press editor, a Triple J and community radio broadcaster, a copywriting contractor, a lecturer in arts journalism, a film script writer and consultant, and a music commentator on ABC TV and radio. As a musician he has toured internationally and he probably knows more about the life and work of David Bowie than is altogether healthy. The thousands of artists he has interviewed and/ or reviewed have taught him everything he knows.
