Music has not only been a passion for Michael, it's also been a source of much enjoyment and inspiration throughout his life - a bit like his passion for wine.
From a young age Michael has always been in awe of music, in particular its vitality, expression and the influence it can have on people's lives. He also adores how music can effortlessly disrupt convention and break long held stereotypes - sound familiar? Well - that's because he adopts this philosophy with winemaking!
Despite this mantra of discovery and experience, Michael has always been adamant about listening and collecting music in the traditional form of vinyl. He has pedantically collected records for over 30 years.
Within his collection there are records that reflect a range of styles, cultures, movements and genres that he has embraced during this time.
Nothing pleases Michael more than to share this music and he is often playing his eclectic DJ sets at private parties.
