Fargo singer Michael Leier seeks success after 'The Voice' - Grand Forks Herald

Leier grew up hearing about his ties to the popular bandleader and king of “Champagne music” – his great-great-uncle, or his great-grandparent’s brother – but was born two years after North Dakota native Welk died in 1992. Now, the 20-year-old... He’s been writing songs since high school – some good, some great, some “not so good” – and said he’s now looking through the catalog to decide what he’d like to include on a new album he hopes to release within the next year.
