Michael is a singer/songwriter/theorist/sound engineer with a decade of experience. Each instrument he plays has a different genre/feel to it.
Starting off listening to Marilyn Manson and Primus, Michael found joy in writing meaningful lyrics while being extremely busy on the instrumentation.
Michael started releasing under the name “The Jazz Enthusiast” after being introduced to the sound of Jacob Collier and wanted subtle jazz influences in his chords. Michael started putting music out in mid-2019 alongside being in a band known as “JMN Through the Night” – a pop-rock trio based in Lower Sackville, NS.
Michael has developed many friends and achievements throughout his playing and networking and has branched out into other bands/projects throughout the years.
