The Guy Smilee Group

🏆 2x ISC Songwriting Semi-Finalist 🏆 The Guy Smilee Group is the creative vehicle of Michael Konick—a veteran professional musician, vocalist, and guitarist with decades of experience on the national scene (The Castaways, Liquid Gypsy). My creative process centers on traditional craftsmanship. I pride myself on writing 100% of all my own songs, ensuring every lyric, melody, and narrative heart stems from personal experience and raw emotion. I love exploring new musical landscapes while keeping a deeply human touch at the core of my songwriting. Over my career, I've had the privilege of collaborating with incredible talent, including teaming up with 3-time Grammy-nominated producer Johnny Pierce for the CMJ Top 30 hit, "Merry X-Mas (I'll Have a Broke New Year)." From the studio to the stage, every project is a testament to a dedicated, lifelong passion for music. #TheGuySmileeGroup #MichaelKonick #Songwriter #Musician #OriginalMusic #VeteranMusician #Guitarist
