Biography

I am thrilled to share my journey with you, from growing up in a bustling household with a large and loving family to becoming a professional violinist based in sunny Florida.
As a child, I was fortunate to be surrounded by the warmth and joy of a huge family. Our home wasn't much, but it was always filled with laughter, stories, and the sweet aroma of homemade meals. It was my grandparents who played a significant role in shaping my passion for music and nurturing my dreams.
From a young age, I was drawn to the unique sound of the violin. The moment I heard it, I knew this instrument ... would become my lifelong companion. My grandparents, with their unwavering support and belief in my potential, sacrificed much and encouraged me to pursue my dreams as an aspiring young musician.
Guided by their wisdom and love, I dedicated countless hours to practice and honing my skills. Their belief in me instilled a sense of determination and perseverance that propelled me forward, even during challenging times. They taught me the importance of discipline, patience, and the power of perseverance in pursuing my dreams.
Today, I am grateful to have transformed my childhood passion into a fulfilling career as a professional violinist. I have had the privilege of performing in esteemed venues and collaborating with talented musicians and world renowned artists.
Throughout my journey, I have embraced the diverse influences that have shaped my musical expression. From classical masterpieces to contemporary pop music, I strive to explore the endless possibilities and push the boundaries of violin music. I am deeply committed to sharing my gift of creating music and using it as a vessel to inspire and touch the hearts of others.

I have the honor of playing on a violin made in Florence, Italy by Giovanni Battista Gabrielli in year 1765.

Michael is extremely professional and brings an absolutely engaging musical ambiance. He’s been an excellent communicator. I really appreciate that he brings his sound system and is willing to let us use his mic for the officiant during the ceremony as well. His backing tracks for his songs also helped to make the music feel full, even just as one performer! Could not recommend him enough.
