Todd Michaelsen came to NYC via the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York. He had just quit college and knew that he needed to be in a place where things were happening. His goal was to expand his horizons, so he crashed on his uncle’s couch on the lower east side, soaked up music and read every book he could get his hands on while taking in the excitement of the big city. Todd soon found himself hanging out with musicians, artists and DJs in Brooklyn’s burgeoning art rock scene. It was there that he met Reena Shah, an Indian dancer and actress. The two became inseparable and quickly moved in together, their blossoming romance punctuated by the harsh reality of living in a cold water flat in a rough neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn. A shared love of music and art got them through this stressful period. They may have been dead broke but they were falling in love and exploring new ideas. Their luck changed when they went to Mumbai to visit Reena’s relatives. It was Todd’s first trip to India and he was amazed by the experience. The couple explored Jain temples and saw live music, dance and the martial arts of Kerala. Indian culture was thriving despite intense poverty, just as they had thrived as a couple despite the hardships of their lives back home in Bushwick. After two months in India, Todd proposed to Reena on a beach overlooking the Arabian Sea.
Upon returning to New York, the couple formed My Pet Dragon as a music and dance duo. Their encounters in India heavily influenced Todd’s songwriting—rock fans and DJs, alike, embraced their debut album, First Born. A remixed version of the song “Dragon Breath” was played on BBC radio and the album and subsequent tour received rave reviews. First Born also caught the ear of acclaimed DJ and producer Karsh Kale, who had Todd write and sing three songs on his 2006 album Broken English and appear on Breathing Under Water, his 2007 collaboration with Anoushka Shankar. Todd and Reena worked together again on 2009’s award winning animated feature film “Sita Sings the Blues,” with Todd composing the score and original songs and Reena voicing the title character.
All of this activity led Todd and Reena to Stephen George. The acclaimed producer recorded and released the maxi-single “Lover in Hiding” via his label Gimme That Sound Productions in early 2010. The song and its accompanying tracks (“Between Us” and “New Nation”) received rave reviews on a variety of international blogs as My Pet Dragon played a series of well-received shows at NYC hot spots Trash, Webster Hall and Cameo Gallery. The follow-up maxi-single, “Flow,” is pure sensuality. The anthemic title track is given the remix treatment by Karsh Kale, Randolph Correia, Big Will and Carlos Anthony Molina. The bonus track, “Release,” is a radical reimagining of the Pearl Jam classic. My Pet Dragon continues to set a striking and unique path; “Flow” will draw indie kids to the dance floor and send DJs out to the guitar shop in search of effects pedals.
