London's famous 12 Bar Club calls him "one of the few truly gifted acoustic guitar players around- a true virtuoso".

Born on 23 March 1981, Michael began playing at the age of 6 using his mother's old guitar and a Beatles songbook. By the time he was 11, he was playing professionally with bands. Since then, Michael has performed in 6 countries, has privately taught over 80 students and is a regular session guitarist for several well known London-based producers.

Yet it has only been over the past 4 years that he has received recognition for his own music, leading one leading promotion company to refer to him as "the greatest exponent of acoustic guitar on the live scene, not for the faint of heart!" (taken from Up All Night Magazine). London's former Human Soundwave Club says, "Michael stuns with his intricate compositions".

A review from Guitar 9 Records (internet magazine) said: "London fingerstyle guitarist Michael Berk has already been compared to the likes of Michael Hedges, Adrian Legg and Preston Reed and the intricate compositions on his debut CD certainly invite comparisons with these masters. Advancing a percussive style on a steel-strung acoustic, album cuts such as 'All Enquiries' and the title track leap from the speakers, displaying technical mastery, a robust, commanding acoustic guitar tone and a passion for the sensitive side of guitar playing. The unpredictability of his compositions is also a strength - the music keeps your attention and offers a sense of fullness of expression."

Michael has recently returned from the United States having performed in New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, New York and competed in the prestigious "National Fingerstyle Guitarist of the Year Competition" held in Winfield, Ks.

Music from Michael's debut album "Organized Chaos" appeared on the documentary "Cancer Cures" on ITV.

In June 2006 Michael completed a run playing guitar onstage at the Royal National Theatre in 'Burn' by Deborah Gearing.

Michael is currently working on his third as yet untitled album due out in 2007 and is planning a European tour.

Michael is a private guitar teacher and has been teaching from home for the past 5 years. Anyone interested in lessons (serious enquiries only please) should e-mail him at [email protected]. Beginners to advanced welcome.»-(¯..v..¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook
