At a young age, Michael’s family noticed his deep voice and gave him the nickname “Bass”. He changed his last name to McCary as his father was convicted of a crime when he was younger. Eventually, he would meet future members of Boyz II Men, hearing them singing in a public restroom and deciding to join in with a bass tone. Soon he was invited to join the group.
McCary helped raise Boyz II Men’s popularity thanks to his deep voice. The group started out as an R&B quartet in the 1990s, and he was responsible for most of their song’s bass tones; they became particularly associated with ballads and a cappella songs which became their forte, and they would slowly rise to the top of the music industry. They found international success and had numerous record setting achievements. Their song “End of the Road” would break Elvis Presley’s record of song longevity in the Billboard Hot 100 top spot. They continued to break their own records and became the band that spent the longest time overall in the Billboard charts. They released over 10 studio albums with hits such as “Motownphilly”, “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday”, “On Bended Knee”, and “I’ll Make Love to You”. They’ve won four Grammy Awards along with several other achievements. However, Michael was experiencing chronic back problems because of scoliosis and had several personal issues which made him decide to leave Boyz II Men in 2003.
Since then he’s appeared in several films, including “Mannsfield 12” in which he appears as Herold. Prior to this appearance, he already starred in a movie called “Hoodlum” which was released in 1997. He also made a guest appearance in the television show “Identity” and became part of the daily show “Jury Duty” in which he appears as a celebrity juror. Aside from these, he appeared in the pilot of talk show “A Pound of Paula” alongside Paula Poundstone, but the show was not picked up.
In 2011, it was anticipated that Michael would return to Boyz II Men for their 20-year anniversary album featuring all new material. However, negotiations between him and the group broke down and his return was discontinued. This was confirmed by the Boyz II Men website and later the remaining members would continue on with their usual performances. They recently released the album “Collide” in 2014.
For his personal life, there is no public information on any relationships Michael may have had or has. It is known that McCary’s step-brother is singer Will Downing.

Neal Schon Net Worth
Neal George Joseph Schon was born on 27th February 1954 at Tinker AFB (Air Force Base), Oklahoma USA, of Italian and German descent. Neal Schon is a rock guitarist, songwriter and vocalist, best known for being an important member of several hugely popular bands, namely Santana, Bad English and Journey.
So just how rich is Neal Schon? Neal’s net worth has been calculated to be over $30 million, amassed during his successful career of more than 40 years in the music industry.
Neal Schon Net Worth $30 Million
Neal Schon was lucky to be born into a musical family – his father Mathew Schon was a famous musician and mother Barbara Schon sang in a band. So Schon picked his first guitar at the age of five years, and starting at early age is usually a way to success. His first career steps started at the age of 15 with the band Santana, in preference to joining Eric Clapton in the band Derek and the Dominos, and debuting with some vocals on Santana’s album Santana III. Being such a great musician at such young age with the possibility to choose between two iconic bands, he went on and started making his money. He also played for Azteca but very briefly.
In 1973 Neal Schon formed his now legendary band Journey. He subsequently released five solo albums, and fourteen studio albums with the band. This must be the main flow into his net worth. Importantly, he is the only band member who has not changed through the years. He has taken part in every tour of the band, and sang on all their albums, so no doubt this longevity with Journey has increased the overall amount of Neal Schon’s net worth as well. Apart from this, he has also collaborated with famous musicians such as keyboardist Jan Hammer, Sammy Hagar and Paul Rodgers on short-term projects.
Neal Schon is as great a vocalist, as he is a guitar virtuoso. Two talents double the money earned, does it not? Let’s talk about his musical influences, of whom there were plenty. He has said that he was highly influenced by the 1960’s, musicians from that era such as Gladys Knight and Aretha Franklin. Then he put some blues to the mix, namely B.B. King and added some guitar-based influences, including of course Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton as well as Wes Montgomery. This is probably Neal Schon’s key to fame – adding the best ingredients from different musical eras.
Schon was always proud of his guitars. He started with acoustic Stella guitar followed by Gibson ES-335. At present he became interested in Xotic guitars. Schon was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in August 2013, which made him, if possible, even more famous. This is considered to be an accomplishment of a lifetime for any musician.
In his not-so-private personal life, Neal Schon has married five times, first to Tena Austin(1976-86), then Beth Buckley(1987-92), Dina Gioeli(1993-99), and Amber Kozan(2001-08). In 2013 he married Michaele Salahi. He has five children.
