In 1992 he formed a Christian band in his garage.
The band was originally called Q: The Source (named after the Q document), but they eventually renamed it as Godspeed for the release of their self-titled European Parliament. Wittig"s fellow Godspeed members were Mahlon Tobias and Robert Brouhard.
He graduated from Riverside Polytechnic High School in 1994, and soon left to go to college in Hays, Kansas at Fort Hays State University. While living there he played bass for a Christian Metal band, Tetelestai, which at some point broke up.
Wittig sold his vehicle to some locals and made mention of wanting to start a band. This information was passed along to Robert Debes who became Wittig"s roommate.
During this time, Wittig became involved in another band, named Mishap.
Wittig was introduced to Rob Beckley, a vocalist and Travis Jenkins, a guitar player. They formed Pillar. After playing with Pillar for ten years, Michael Wittig left the band in September 2008 for multiple reasons. Wittig reunited with Pillar in 2012 and began to lay tracks for a new album.
In August 2015 their latest album One Love Revolution was released.
