CLASSICALLY TRAINED COMPOSER /// SELF TAUGHT GUITARIST

Michael first became interested in music at a young age when he discovered (and “borrowed”) his mother’s nylon string guitar. After nearly 25 years of playing and composing, Michael is now a skilled and versatile musician who continues to hone his craft. In addition to the guitar, Michael plays bass, keyboards, drums, the glockenspiel, and many others. He has independently composed, produced, and recorded over 1000 original songs, including tracks and scores for video games, short films, and podcasts. He is currently venturing into writing lyrics and providing vocals for his own music.

 Michael draws inspiration from dreams, his experiences, and the world around him. His compositions employ a vast diversity of musical styles and techniques including layering loops, stream of consciousness, process music, and more. He also uses experimental techniques to create truly unique and masterful sounds. Michael strives to invoke specific feelings or emotions in his listeners, and creates music and sounds to bring those feelings to life.
