Motorbike James is the musical brainchild and artist alias of Michael Werbicki, a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and producer from Edmonton, Alberta. MBJ’s’ natural prerogative is to live a life in the moment, for the moment. That emotion comes out in all sides of his life – chasing adrenaline highs, riding motorbikes, exploring the world, and most of all through music.
“Common Sensei,” the latest single from MBJ’s debut album, VIISIONS, is an analysis of a character – someone going through their days with blinders on. Someone choosing to live inside a box, only believing what they can see. Ignoring any notion of a deeper meaning. Someone not in tune with themselves or their surroundings.
Written, produced and mixed by MBJ, VIISIONS is an account of the human experience, unconfined by time as a linear construct. A protagonist being pulled from singularity and thrust into the higher consciousness that binds all things.
