SA NORD AMBASSADOR
Michael completed his Grade 8 Royal School of Music, UK, exams in all four instruments with distinction, a remarkable achievement that marked a first in the 174-year history of Bishops High School. Throughout his school career, Michael's talents as a composer and performer shone through, as he performed in a variety of international musicals and shows and won multiple awards in competitions and eisteddfod. At the age of 16, Michael was part of the opening act for the late Johnny Clegg at Kirstenbosch for an audience of 6000 people. In 2018, Michael was accepted into the highly specialized Music and Sound Composition for Media program at both the University of Southern California and Berklee College of Music, a significant achievement that reflected his skills and talent. Michael chose to study at Berklee College of Music and travelled to Boston in 2019 to begin his studies. Unfortunately, COVID-19 forced Michael to return to Cape Town midway through 2020. However, he continued his studies online and has since become an accomplished film composer, final mixer, sound designer, music producer, and more.
Michael's love for music started at the age of six , when he began taking classical piano lessons. As he grew older, he added lessons on oboe, voice, and pipe organ instruments to his repertoire.
