Music

One of my favorite passions is music! I have played guitar for 10 years now and have created music with two projects to date. I am currently starting my journey of electronic music production as well.

Some of my favorite genres are neo-soul, jazz, classic rock, house and bossa nova.

Some of my biggest music inspirations for my guitar playing have been Ted Greene, Luiz Bonfa, Steve Vai, Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi.

Take a look below to see some of my previous projects…

Gentle Mind

A neo-soul band I started alongside Camille, Tobi and Abishek through the Blank Vinyl Project Build a Band program at UBC. We created a single and EP which can be found on Spotify.

Chill Clinton

I went down to busk for the first time ever at Kits Beach. I sat down and a random stranger approached and said “Hey, are you Michael?”, I said “Yes”. He said “OK perfect.” and he started taking out his saxophone. He was actually mistaking me for a different Michael that he was supposed to meet at the beach to play with. Turns out a group of young lads, including one of my close friends Navin, were meeting there to jam. We played that evening for 4 hours and I took home a couple hundred dollars. And so Chill Clinton was birthed.
