Michel Battles Sr. — Author & Artist

Home of Urban Maestro, Michel Battles, Sleepunami, Terra Calma, and Nectar of Nature — fiction and music from Iron Cane Media.

Welcome. I am Michel Battles Sr., an author and recording artist working from my professional home studio in Kansas. I write fiction and I make music, and I am grateful you stopped by to take a look.

My promise to you: you will find no tainted scenes and no tainted language anywhere in my work. It can be hard to find clean books and music these days, so I made that promise to my readers and listeners, and I keep it.

The Music

Five artist names under Iron Cane Media, each with its own feel.

Urban Maestro — soul, blues, and R&B. Three albums and seven singles, with Bar-B-Q Music coming soon.

Michel Battles — instrumental lo-fi to work, study, and relax to.

Sleepunami — gentle music made to help you fall asleep.

Terra Calma — calm, world-inspired music for rest and quiet thinking.

Nectar of Nature — sleep music wrapped in the sounds of nature.

Hear all of it on the Music page.

Why three of those names are sleep music: my mind rarely slows down and falling asleep has always been hard for me, so I made it for myself first. The full story is on the Music page.
