Michael Ripoll

Charismatic singer/songwriter and masterful guitar virtuoso, Michael Ripoll is the quintessential "artist’’s artist."
Born and raised in New York, and of Cuban and Italian descent, Michael’s heritage flourished on the East Coast and the fire and passion of his roots permeate the multitude of styles he performs: Pop, Flamenco/Latin, Classical, Jazz, R&B/Funk Rock, and Gospel.
As a songwriter, conveying a unique, and powerful insight with words and phrasing come effortlessly as Michael is completely in tune with the thoughts that are translated through his instrument and voice. The sincerity and honesty capture the essence of love beautifully and evocatively, leaving an indelible stir within the listener.
It was a move to Florida at the age of sixteen that landed Michael at the very epicenter of Latin culture in America, where he was able to connect then with his Cuban ancestry. His father had taken note of the innate talent in New York, and once in Florida, decided to support his son as a musician and the talent was cultivated and refined with collegiate training. Twelve years of private lessons along with the schooling can be detected in the delivery in which he plays—nothing short of concise technique and flawless precision.
Currently residing in Los Angeles, Michael is a consummate professional in the music industry. The industry’s top artists and organizations know of Michael’s genius and passion. His calendar stays steadily full of recording sessions, high-profile appearances, and awe-inspiring live performances, backing top artists and fronting his own band.
