According to his biography, Dalton makes original pop/rock music and has composed over 320 original songs.

He also sang and played guitar for two nationally televised commercials and was nominated for a “Daytime Emmy Award” for his songwriting work on the CBS soap opera, "Guiding Light."

"It is going to be several more weeks before Mike can play music again. This loss of income along with medical bills, is devastating," Hariegel wrote.
