==Biography==
His desire to sing was initially inspired by his brother, who began playing piano at the age of 3. The son of a preacher, Speaks' first experience performing for audiences was in the gospel choir. However, after a short time – and at a young age – he decided to plant his own flag as an entertainer.
“When I was 10 years old, I started a group called Christian Brothers," Speaks said. "We were singing in churches all over the city, and one day my voice changed and the rest of the members just stopped performing when I was singing this song called 'Sign Me Up.' They couldn't believe how good I was … and they had me sing that song all the time.”
Young Michael soon took his act on the road, performing in talent shows in Indiana and across the South. He subsequently moved to New York City, where he drew crowds by singing in subway stations. "When I arrived in New York, I saw these guys singing on the street," he said. "People were stopping to listen to the singers and dropping money in their buckets. So, I thought to myself, 'This must be how you get discovered.' I went down to 34th Street in front of Macy's department store and started doing the same thing. I didn't have a bucket – I just had a hat, and took it off to gather my tips. The more money that was put into my hat, the louder I sang. I made between $50 and $200 a day just singing on the street.”
