He moved back to Munich, Germany in December 2005 and works with a variety of projects in various styles from Pop, Funk & Soul and Jazz as a guitarist, composer and arranger as well as a music teacher."He is always looking to explore new areas of music to help add to his own musical ideas." Richie Hart (Dr. Lonnie Smith, Ron Carter, Freddie Hubbard)"Michael is a very intelligent, talented and hard working individual."
