Short Summary
My name is Michael Rosado. I currently work in full time ministry with a youth group in Central FL. I am married to my incredible wife, Kati. We have a sleepy Shiba Inu and a love for finding "home" on our travels with those that we meet. Coffee and surfing are truly passions of mine. Let’s have a conversation.
I’ve seen and met many in the midst of their journey that have watched the days go by while they remain in their regrets, the fear of failure that holds them back from dreams and joy. I was 18 when I knew a specific calling on my life was to share poetry- not only the words but the songs that also have come from them.
A few years later, Wind Words became the vehicle by which I would travel and share in hopes that life would be spoken through my songs. The incredible support and friendships gained from show-goers, listeners and other artists have kept me encouraged to say the least. I’ve continued to be inspired by the stories and memories that have been shared with me. This year I have been given a burden to share a few of those stories with the world.
I’ve decided to take this poetry project into a studio with Mark Nicks and Brandon Shattuck and to have these songs professionally recorded and produced at Parafonic Recording Studio in Orlando FL.
This Indiegogo Campaign is a new step toward this direction. I am opening my efforts as an invitation to partner with friends and family to see this full length record become all that it can be.

THE HEART
These are uncharted waters for me but I can assure you that this project will be met with my utmost diligence and energy no matter how much is raised. These songs must be shared and this album must be made. My promise to you is this: “I will creatively communicate hope and unconditional love and life through this project with all that I can give.”
There is enough content out there that consumes our lives and fills our news feeds. But what about that which stirs contentment? "Digging Up Earth" is an album that shares of seasons and perspectives that may connect or may introduce the listener to matters of pain, doubt, holiness, faith and transparency. Everyone is worth a conversation.
Other Ways You Can Help
Financially backing this project is just amazing and I am sincerely grateful for those who can... but this is not the only way to show your support. I would like to encourage you to get the word out about this campaign even if you cannot physically give. Also take advantage of Indiegogo’s share tools that make it incredibly easy for you to use your social media influence. Thoughts and prayers are always asked for and welcomed. Gracias!
