Michiel is a multidisciplinary artist whose music blends folk-rooted songwriting with raw, organic production and elements of experimental pop. Born in the Altyre Estates of Moray, Scotland, and shaped by the coastline and forests, his work is deeply influenced by memory, place, and emotion. His sound is rooted yet ever-evolving—layering voice, texture, and image into something both intimate and expansive.
His upcoming singles So I Lay and Murder of Crows - out on the 12th May - explore grief as it moves through time, and the nostalgia of the housing estate he lived in as a teenager. They reflect the intersection of growing up in poverty while being immersed in the outdoors—the contrast of pebbledash council homes with wild land, open skies, and endless sunsets.
