Michael Schiefel was born in Germany in 1970. He moved to Berlin in the early 1990s. Since then, he has dazzled his fans at home and abroad with an array of solo and band projects that have yielded a dozen albums over the past decade.

In all of his solo projects, Michael experiments with his distinctive virtuoso voice by combining it with loop machines and other electronic devices. In addition to his solo performances, Michael collaborates with many other musicians on a wide range of projects. But no matter what genre he sings - be it funk and pop with JazzIndeed, classical-inspired big band with Thaerichen’s Tentett, modern jazz with David Friedman, or Balkan beats with the German-Bulgarian quintet Batoru - Michael’s multifaceted voice receives consistently high praise from audiences and critics alike.

"He is certainly one of the most unusual talents ever heard."
