About Me

A rotating component of portraits of Mikey holding a guitar.

I’m a classically trained guitarist, songwriter, private music instructor, and frontman for the band By the Willow.


I was the Music Director of El Ballet Folklórico Estudiantil, where I proudly led and grew the program for over eight years. In 2023, I organized Michigan's first-ever youth mariachi summer camp, bringing together young musicians from across the state to explore the depth of mariachi music. I have over ten years of experience as an instructor, teaching mariachi, guitar, voice, and violin.


Throughout my career, I’ve had the honor of performing alongside talented artists like Walter Alberghini Pastor of the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra and Flint Symphony Orchestra flautist Jessica Cech. My formal training was at the University of Michigan-Flint, where I earned my degree in Classical Guitar Performance under the guidance of Francesco Cavallini.


Whether you're just starting or looking to deepen your musical skills, I'd love to help you on your journey!

Whether it’s providing an ambiance to an event or filling concert halls with sound, I look forward to sharing my musical services.
