M. began his lengthy musical career at age 13, as conga player for a ‘Motown’ style cover-band. By age 17 he was already a veteran of dozens of hours on stage and in professional recording studios around Los Angeles.

The early years included music of all kinds- rock, blues, jazz, progressive, ethnic, industrial, country. Segal made his name by easily adapting to whatever style or approach was necessary for that ‘perfect’ performance or recording.

During the birth and heyday of L.A.’s alleged punk rock scene, he and brother/guitarist Greg Segal founded Paper Bag: improvisational music company, whose four SST releases sold thousands of units worldwide, especially in Europe. The extensive theory by which Bag: Theory improvises was co-authored by Segal at that time.

In later years, he formed The Strange MF’s with bassist Tom Shannon of Death & Taxe$ and Dickies guitarist Enoch Hain. This was followed by Sativa Luv Box, with vocalist Patrick Mata of Kommunity FK. Soon after, the band FreeHead was assembled with Zoogz Rift/Saccharine Trust multi-instrumentalist Richie Häss, and guitarist Jim C. Smith, co-creator of trail-blazing cartoon The Ren and Stimpy Show.

M. is now proud to be discovering new worlds of improvisation with Bag: Theory co-founder/guitarist Anthony Cossa, legendary Paper Bag: bassist George Radai and master woodwinds player Marc Mylar.

Segal continues to work with other projects, including The Amadans, Music For Chameleons, Death & Taxe$, Ritual, Two Separate Gorillas and many others. His unique imprint will be heard on various film and television soundtracks early next year.
