Arising from a quaint regional upbringing in the Wheatbelt, Michael rest his hands on his first acoustic guitar in his hometown of Northam in 2007. Deferring tedious university studies in 2015, bearings pointed deep south to Esperance to reevaluate and find respite. Unplanned, in the presence of a warm community of local musicians and close friends, Michael performed live with vocals for the first time in Esperance late Autumn 2015.
