Keyboard Coming from humble beginnings, back at age 9, Mike Scrima was handpicked to attend the St. Paul Choir School in Cambridge, MA along with 16 other classmates from around the greater Boston area. From grades 5 through 8, he was taught music theory, singing, piano, and 2 of those years were also spent learning recorder and handbells. By way of classical music, Mike was able to perform at Symphony Hall in Boston under the conductor John Williams, The Boston Opera House under the conductor Sarah Caldwell, and Tanglewood under the conductor Seiji Ozawa. There he learned the majority of what he knows about music to this day. Halfway through completion of the school, Mike started his first rock band with his brother and a classmate from the choir school. Since then, there hasn't been a year that Mike was not part of a rock project. In 1999, Scrima toured the United States with his band Audible Crayons. In 2006, he was able to play clubs like the Paradise in Boston and CBGB's in New York with his band Sleeprunner. In 2010, Mike founded his own band called Force Us To Stop that included mostly teachers from the schools where he worked. In 2019, he was the keyboardist for the band Damone and performed at venues like The Sinclair in Cambridge, just 2 blocks from where the choir school is. In recent years, Scrima has also added film scoring to his output. He has scored for movies such as The Families Feud that have starred many members of the cast of The Sopranos such as Federico Castelluccio, John Fiore, and Al Sapienza.
