MEET
Michael was born and raised in Bury, Lancashire, England. Michael's music brings you "light acoustic finger-picking, layers of synth and keys, and a haunting, northern vocal chorus that creates something that’s just too damn beautiful to be wrong."
His vocal harmonies and finely crafted lyrics have captured the attention of critics everywhere and his latest album HOW IS THIS HELPING? is no exception. Not only is it the perfect backdrop to a cozy night in with good friends and a bottle of your favourite tipple, but it's also a soothing lyrical cure for the slightly thick head you might have the following morning. A must have for all Alt-Americana and Alt-Folk fans.
For a limited time we are giving away the latest single recorded for the album. Just enter your name and email address a little further up on this page and you will immediately be sent the link to the free track.

MUSIC ON THE MOON
“The gentle melodies, the unsugared unmistakably Northern vocals, and the image-conjuring lyrics all contribute to making this a resonantly magnetic single. Sublime Bluesy finger-picked serenity.”
AMELIA VANDERGAST
"Behind the nuanced psychotropic reminiscences which give this an undeniably Northern sound, you’ll hear intricate bluesy guitar lead work and frenetic keys; throwing me back to the 50s"
