Wanderer….Philosopher….Fun Doctor…..This tradesman of sound was born to bring people together, to make light of a troubled day, and to administer a steady I.V. of positivity to the world. Since 2002, the Kelowna native’s rapid growth as a singer/songwriter transpired out of love and encouragement from his unbelievable family, friends, and open hearted strangers. He emerged in Vancouver, BC as an intriguing Folk artist in 2004, and his magnetic melodies and warm demeanor have been dissolving woes and changing perspectives ever since. Michael’s musical aim is to provide a space for people to feel apart of something, and to be excited about living the lives that inspire them.

Growing up in a world competitive athletics and a career in exercise physiology, Michael’s performance record often took shape along the sidelines of teammates races, in echoed training stairwells, or yoga studios when not on stage. It is from these motivating environments that he cultivated his uplifting character, and many can attest to the joy and insight his music has brought to them. Read more on Last.fm.
