At age 12, Michael had been playing an acoustic guitar for a couple of months but showed little interest in music. At christmas his dad would surprise him with his first electric guitar. In this instrument Michael would find a voice he could relate too. He became obsessed with the sound of the electric guitar and learned every guitar solo he could find.  At age 17 he began working with Berklee graduate and guitar teacher Fernando Mattina at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto. In 2014 Michael won a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music were he started studying with renown teachers like Mick Goodrick and Dave Santoro, George Garzone, Joanne Brackeen and many others.
