Michiel is a 23 year old freelance producer, musician and music enthusiast.
Currently still studying Musicology (part of Art History programme) at the University of Ghent. He says “I’ve always had a big interest in music and first started out playing guitar and occasionaly some piano from the age of twelve. (And there was always a good portion of music at home.) Throughout my interest in music I became more involved with the different aspects of music recording and music performance. (booking, promo, engineering, pa, etc..) As a producer/engineer I have learned mainly through my father who has been a recording and performing artist for the last 40 years. (G.T. Moore) I’ve had the opportunity to go on the road as a rhythm guitar player and to record some sessions for him with proper session players in a proper studio environment. Currently still mixing an upcoming release of his with Richard Bailey (Jeff Beck / Steve Winwood) on drums, Kuma Harada (Peter Green / Snowy White) on bass, James Lascelles (Frank Zappa / Steve Harley) on keys and my father on guitar. I will most likely use the pre-master from Prime Studios on one of these tracks”
