MY PET DRAGON is a Brooklyn, NY based act creating a buzz because of their unique sound and live show. The sound of My Pet Dragon comes from singer/guitarist Todd Michaelsen, whose songwriting style blends the epic rock sound of bands such as U2 and Radiohead with various other influences including pop, eastern, and electronica. My Pet Dragon's intense live show consists of Michaelsen's music combined with the mesmerizing classical Indian dancing of his wife, Reena Shah. She uses traditional anklet bells to add shimmering percussion to Michaelsen's compositions.


Hadley Tomicki of L.A Taco reviewed their 2006 ArtWallah Festival show and stated that My Pet Dragon "filled the entire downtown area with the force of an entire rock band with beautiful, bittersweet songs, carried across with a stunning voice of lifting intensity, power, and flexibility."


My Pet Dragon released "First Born" in 2006 and received glowing reviews. Ethnotecho.com gave the album 5 out of 5 stars and stated the album was "expansive and cinematic" and "forged new territory in blending disparate sounds and influences together into a novel experience." In the two years since the band's conception, the duo has played a variety of shows around the country including the 2007 Burning Man Festival, the 2007 DUMBO Arts Festival, and the 2006 ArtWallah Festival in L.A. My Pet Dragon is currently recording their next record. Michaelsen has also worked with producer Karsh Kale on his record "Broken English" and Kale's collaboration with sitarist Anoushka Shankar on their newly acclaimed record "Breathing Under Water" (EMI).
