Michigan has always been a home to creative arts, including those in the the music scene, with Motown’s greatest recording arts, as well as, rock & roll, heavy metal, and rap artists. Here’s a list of some musicians in connection to Michigan [ Ranker.com ] and some other famous people from the state [ Ranker.com ].

One thing is for sure, there will never be a shortage of great talent in the Great Lake State. We are making plans to host events there soon. We look forward to seeing more work coming from this great state.
