Born on the Caribbean island of Haiti, he took up production as a hobby at 16 while studying hard to pursue a career in medicine. Michael continued crafting his sound as a hobby when he began a pre-med program at Davidson College in North Carolina. His patience and hard work paid off when he was signed to his first label, Revealed Recordings, in 2011, and soon after, he was under the tutelage of Dragan Roganovic, commonly known as Dirty South, releasing tracks on his label Phazing Records.
