Staff Biographies 

Mr. Michael 

Guitar - Piano - Voice - Ukulele 

Hi, my name is Michael, and I’m a music artist from Pembroke Pines! I love singing, guitar, piano, and drums, and I’m passionate about writing original songs that connect and inspire.

For two years, I served as a worship leader, where I led music through acoustic guitar, vocals, and songwriting. That experience helped shape my voice not only as a performer, but also as a leader and mentor in music. Today, I’m proud to work as an independent artist and musician, continuing to write, create, and share music with others.

I currently teach guitar, piano, voice, and ukulele at The Hit Music Studio, where I bring my experience and love for music into every lesson. I also attend FIU, where I’m working toward a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management—but at my core, teaching and writing music is my true passion.
