Michael Flanders is an Australian record producer, songwriter, and co-founder of Pacific International Music. His production credits include Josh Arnold, Nik Phillips, Jill King, Garrison Starr, and American Idol Semi-Finalist Siobhan Magnus.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Flanders achieved acclaim in his native Australian market; first as a staff songwriter with Warner/Chappell Music, then as a producer for Alternative and Pop acts in Australia. He received ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) recognition for his work with the Australian pop artist Chaise, producing a string of hit singles album that spawned a number one hit song for her, “Only Be Me.” During this period, he also held a position at Arctic/BMG Australia.

Flanders relocated to Nashville in April 2007, opening Pacific International Music studios and has since completed 50 plus projects in the space of 5 years, producing 19 Hot 30 Country singles, 4 of which made number 1.

Flanders’ last 3 records with artists’ Coles Whalen, Jill King and Mitzi Dawn cemented his status in the Americana and Alt Country scene. In 2010, American Idol Siobhan Magnus began a series of writing and recording sessions under the direction of Flanders and his team, resulting in her first album “Moonbaby,” which was released January 15th.

Flanders’ trademark as a producer has been his experimental and hook-heavy approach to creating organic-sounding records. He is known for his involvement in a project from conception to finished product.
