Michael English (born 23 April 1979) is an Irish country singer.
He was born in a musical family as his father played button accordion with a traditional Irish band, his mother was an Irish dancer, and his two sisters played fiddle and piano.
At the age of nine, English started studying the piano formally at the Hennessy School of Music in Carlow.
Henry McMahon of The Mainliners offered him one of his own compositions, "The Nearest to Perfect" that became a hit for English in 1999.
Relating to the issue, English reportedly said "I've too many things going on and I'm going to continue hiring musicians the same way I've always done for the last 22 years".
