His songs are an acoustic mix of folk, roots, soul, pop and rock that he has toured extensively all over Australia building a reputation as a captivating live act. Each of his songs has it's own unique story, heartfelt vocal and a soulful melody accompanied with open and intriguing lyrics. Rip It Up describes him as “a truly original sound to drive to, smile to and sing along in front of the mirror to. Michael’s music is the kind that truly connects with you” (April 2008). With the support of Triple J's Roots n All program, community radio, and Fogsongs publishing Michael has been enjoying the hard earned recognition as “An earnest, raw, promising new artist” (The Sunday Telegraph 01/06/2008). 2010 saw Michael begin writing songs for his 2nd album. It was a project that became very close to his heart and took Michael and producer Andrew Beck on a musical journey that was to last almost 2 years. The resulting album "Awake With Birds" is warm, eclectic and multi-layered, full of musical storytelling and intriguing lyrics. Described by Michael as his best work to date, the album was recorded mostly live to tape at Damien Gerard Studios Sydney. The first single off it "Skin on Skin" was released in July 2011. Accompanying its release was Michaels first film clip which has already received multiple plays on the TV show RAGE and gained enthusiastic support from fans antisipating the next installment of songs. The Album was released in March 2012; the single "Balance Beam" jumped to the top of the Triple J Unearthed charts and still remains in the top 100 overall and top 20 in its genre.
