Since the release of his self produced album ‘Straight Eyed Pessimist’ (07/01/15) Michael has gone from strength to strength. The album received an amazing response which resulted in regular airplay on many local radio shows such as BBC Introducing Cambridgeshire and Cambridge 105. Michael quickly became known across the Cambridge music scene by gigging regularly across the county in various venues. He was recently nominated for The Best Solo Male act by the NMG Awards. Influenced by the likes of The Script, Bombay Bicycle Club, Biffy Clyro, Coldplay, George Ezra, Ed Sheeran and Noel Gallagher. Michael’s sound is sure to deliver something for everyone, whether that be poetic lyrics, melodies that etch on your mind or simply the full package. Fashioned over his teenage years of consistent and dedicated composition, the mix of soft, indie/ alternative rock and pop creates a very likeable style. Michael has a widespread gigging experience spanning across the UK from small pubs to dedicated music rooms with audience capacities of up to 900. This also consists of three UK tours, a European tour and a considerable amount of busking, including busking at Glastonbury. Through this, Michael has acquired profound familiarity with the live music scene. As a direct result of Michael’s involvement in the local scenes, his music has had wide recognition over a number of different mediums such as TV: links with a prime time ITV show and Cambridge TV's 'Humble Pie'. He has received a broad record of radio plays and live sessions – supported by local and national stations such as, Cambridge 105 and BBC Introducing – and has also appeared in magazines such as NME and Sound on Sound under a different alias.
