Meet Mike
MyZ Backroads is the music of Mike Maraia, an Army veteran, songwriter, and storyteller. His songs are rooted in lived experience—faith, recovery, hope, heartbreak, courage, and the quiet lessons found along America’s backroads.
This is music for anyone who has been through something, kept moving, and still believes a better road is ahead.
