Michael Davidson

Michael Davidson (born July 20, 1963, as Michael Jay Davidson in New Jersey) is a singer and songwriter.

Career American-born Michael Davidson was signed to Sire Records on the recommendation of Andy Warhol, after the pair became acquainted during a mutual visit to France. Davidson won the record deal after presenting a number of songs he'd cowritten, including his most well known track, "Turn It Up".

"Turn It Up" was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman and Phil Harding and became a dance hit in 1987. Jerry Smith of British magazine Music Week presented "Turn It Up" an "insistent but rather one-dimensional dance track".

A second single, "Warehouse", was released in 1989, but Davidson was dropped by Warner Bros. during a period of cost cutting at the label, and his album was never released. He went on to a career in fine art photography.
