Biography

Date of birth: 7 February 1993.
Michael made the eminent transition from probationer to St. Philip's choirboy in 2002 at the age of 9. Not long after, Michael made his television debut with Libera on Songs of Praise, with the opening of "There is a Green Hill Far Away" being his first solo, thus proving what the very youngest of Libera are capable of. Before becoming a soloist himself on a Libera album, Michael featured on Libera's advent video "Sing the Story" which was filmed for Songs of Praise in December 2003. This song was also included as an extra track on the Japanese version of the album Free.

2004-05 saw a change of Libera's principal soloists which gave Michael another rung on the ladder of choral experience. His first opportunity arose during the time of Libera's first Asia tour of March-April 2005 where Michael sang several solos. This was followed shortly after by the choir's latest release - Visions. Such songs as "Something Sings", "Sing For Ever" and the poignant tribute to Flanders fields, "We are the Lost", exemplify the level of maturity in his voice that has elevated over the last few years. Michael's efforts on tour were repeated during Libera's October trip to Japan.

Evident in many behind-the-scenes photos and videos, Michael can be seen as a bright and spritely character and, along with Callum Payne, has a talent for introducing Libera to the rest of the world.

Michael loves making cranes or animals of Japanese origami papers.
