Rising singer-songwriter Michael J Woodard releases his dreamy new single, “Ruined”!
Not only did Woodard release this new single, but he also announced the release of his debut EP, WMJ1.
His debut EP is set to be released on January 12 via Unsub Records.
This song is about the emotional fallout that follows a breakup.
Growing up in Philadelphia, Woodard sang in church and at the performing arts elementary school he attended.
When he was around the age of 13 he started singing at high-profile events such as the US Open.
Woodard also performed for former president Barack Obama when he visited Philadelphia.
Working in his home studio that he created, he started to share his vocals and the results of his songwriting online.
After high school, Woodard headed to Hollywood to study at the Musicians Institute.
In the sixteenth season of American Idol, Woodard landed in the Top 5. Championed by Katy Perry, he was later signed to her record label, Unsub Records.
Since then, he has voiced the title character in the Netflix series, Arlo The Alligator Boy and has focused on releasing new music.
Check out his accompanying music video to this single below!
This song means so much to me. It really taps into a vulnerable feeling that we may all be familiar with: the feeling of love and losing love. As humans we experience so many glimpses and instances of what it means to be in love and, sometimes, if we lose that love we may not know how to put that feeling into words. I hope it allows people to be vulnerable, to feel, to relate, and to hopefully find joy and a relief to know that someone out there is singing about a familiar part of their journey when it comes to love.
