A gifted singer from his teenage years, Michael trained at the Drama Division of The Juilliard School, and went on to an award-winning career on the stage, twice honored by the Joseph Jefferson Award in his native Chicago for work in musical theater.

Leaving his acting career to immerse in meditation at the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine in California, he turned his musical gifts to a devotional mode, serving for 15 years as chant and meditation leader in the traditional kirtan music of India.

Two acclaimed CDs of devotional music followed, Adoration - Chants for Meditation, and Adoration 2 - Sacred Yoga Love Songs.Tours of yoga centers throughout the United States ensued, as well as an invitation to perform devotional music at the interfaith gatherings of The Global Peace Initiative of Women, at such events as The United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Denmark in December 2009, and The Conference on The Divine Feminine in Assisi, Italy that same year.

HARMONIUM AND CHANT LESSONS ONLINE: Michael is now offering personal one-on-one tutoring via online video conferencing for those who wish to learn to play the harmonium as accompaniment to devotional chanting. For more information, click here.
