Michael's formative years were spent in Fresno, California, where he developed a profound appreciation for the creative arts, music, and the essence of life itself. This burgeoning passion for artistic expression was nurtured through his extensive involvement in local talent shows, family gatherings, and theatrical productions, thereby honing his skills in singing, acting, playing the piano, and dancing.
As Michael's talents continued to flourish, he recognized the limitations of his hometown's artistic landscape and thus made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles, a hub for the entertainment industry. At the tender age of thirteen, he landed his first major commercial role, starring in a Little Debbie commercial, where he showcased his vocal prowess by singing the iconic tune "My Girl".
Since then, Michael has remained committed to pursuing his dual passions for acting and music, while also dedicating himself to writing and performing his original compositions.
