He believes in the power of experimental creation, emphasising artistic authenticity. Over the course of his career, Michael has amassed over 5.5 million streams on Spotify alone since 2022 as well as over half a million followers on social media combined. This online success has resulted in brand partnerships with Samsung, Mobile Legends and TuTu TV to name but a few.
