My name is Mike and I play the Handpan. This UFO resembling instrument embodies soft, meditative sounds that will ground you while simultaneously taking you to outer space; the handpan has a way of invoking deep emotional reactions. I combine expressive melodies with percussive elements and thrive at wedding processionals, art exhibitions, and other intimate settings.
My intention is to create a musical space for people to let their guards down in the midst of emotional moments or creative spaces.
