Artist description Micharel is a composer, guitarist and vocalist from the San Francisco Bay area. His style melds dark pop and Pagan dirges in a way that was once described by a friend as 'Dead Can Dance meets David Bowie and goes to Lebanon.' Having been at a loss for a genre, Micharel was relieved by this perspective. Micharel performed all instruments and vocals on his debut album 'Visceral' which was engineered by Matthew Trettin of Visionary Mastering.

Artist History In 1987, after nearly a decade of private lessons, Micharel survived a near death experience. The insatiable need to compose was a term of survival for him from then on. He soon erupted into a flurry of composition. Micharel met Matthew Trettin in 1996 just as he was opening his studio, Visionary Mastering. In 2000, 'Visceral' was born.
