Michael Patrick Graham

Michael Patrick Graham (born 18 February 1982) was one of the leading soprano soloists for the famous United States boys choir: St. Paul's Paulist Choristers of California. He was born in Los Angeles and raised in the city for his entire life. He joined the choir at the early age of 7 and moved quickly up the ranks in the choir to become the premier soloist by age 8. Under the guidance of his choirmaster, Dr. Jon Wattenbarger, Michael's choir career flourished. He sang with the choir for the feature film, Edward Scissorhands. He sang with the Los Angeles Geoffrey Ballet for their performance of The Nutcracker for three years as well as lending his voice for John Tesh's Christmas album A ROMANTIC CHRISTMAS.

When he was 10 years old he audition for, and got the job, as Jonathan Taylor Thomas' singing voice for the Disney film The Lion King. However, he had to remove himself from recording when he came down with a month long case of strep throat.

Michael was hit extremely hard when his mentor, Dr. Wattenbarger, died and soon thereafter left the Paulist Choristers. Over the next few years he performed small recitals including Les Miserable before completely turning away from the life of professional singing.
