Photographer | Musician

A fixture in Baltimore's artistic landscape for 16 years, Micah E. Wood embodies the city's creative spirit as a photographer, musician, and educator. His deep immersion in Baltimore's diverse musical communities, from "wild and weird hip hop wordsmiths" to "seductive dance producers," has cultivated a truly unique sound reflected in his music as well as his photography portfolio – a "sonic cholent, long-stewed in Charm City." Recognized by Baltimore Magazine as "a prolific collaborator and charismatic performer," Wood's influence extends to his acclaimed photography, capturing "musicians of myriad genres in compositions that feel deeply intimate" (Baltimore Magazine, 2025), a journey recently chronicled in his 300-page book, Scene Seen: Baltimore Musician Portraits 2016–2024.

Building on the success of his 2022 pop-hook-soaked EP, 'Ring Ring,' which offered delightful rock perfect for a bouncy walk around the park, Wood now presents ‘You, Me, the Reign,’ his first album in three years. Born from a desire to escape chaotic external realities into a perfect bubble with a partner, this album took on new urgency after the 2024 election.

PRESS KIT:

“In turn, Wood burnishes the dueling guitars and honeyed basslines with his golden-hued baritone vocal melodies. It is the type of song you can melt into, the kind that will effortlessly coax movement out of the most stiff of bodies.”
-Under the Radar, 2025

“Micah E. Wood’s 3rd album “You, Me, the Reign” embodies the feeling of being in love in a backdrop of anti-capitalist protest, confusion, and unrest, with the bubbling intensity of 70’s disco and art rock. The interplay of both highly political songs and love songs coalesce into a unique record that bursts with high energy and ambition.“ 
-Ampwall, 2025

 “More than a musician, Wood is known, especially in his hometown, for multiple acclaimed photo books documenting the Baltimore music scene. On “Mesmerized,” he takes center stage—or at least shares it—dropping a bouncy dance tune in collaboration with the multidisciplinary artist N A E.“
-NinaProtocol, 2025

“A prolific collaborator and charismatic performer, Wood has become a staple of the local music scene.“
-Baltimore Magazine, 2022

“Here, he emerges with six new nostalgia-tinged songs that feel like the fruits of his labors, evolving from the lovelorn lyrics and digi-pop melodies of his early work into some of his most expansive songwriting and versatile vocals yet—including his first true rock song, which draws inspiration from the likes of Lou Reed and Ramones.”
-Baltimore Magazine, 2022

“This is not your square grandparents' typical Xanadu or ABBA-odyssey but an updated vision of the polyester era through a dream machine lens captured in high def.“
-Week In Pop 2021

“Baltimore’s resident troubadour Micah E. Wood returns with a new single and love song we’ve been waiting for all along.”
-Baltimore Magaine 2020

“In a world of bravado and swagger, Micah E. Wood’s unapologetically heart-on-his-sleeve music is a breath of fresh air.”
-Baltimore Magaine 2019

“Micah evokes the exhaustion of going through the motions of the day while contending with sleepless nights while someone special and significant stays at the forefront of the consciousness.”
-Impose Magazine 2019

“Through tender electronic melodies and charming talk- sing vocals, Wood and company make our stone cold hearts—thanks a lot, Tinder—finally feel human again.”
-Baltimore Magazine (The Best Music of 2017) 

“.. exactly what you’d want to accompany your long shower or distant car ride.”
-Saint Heron 2017
