Following this he moved to Graz in Austria where he graduated in 2009 in Jazz Double Bass with the great Wayne Darling. Joining the London Jazz scene since 2010, Michele has toured various Jazz and World music festivals all over Europe, New York, Tokyo and the Balkan Peninsula performing and recording with such great artists as Knoel Scott and Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra), top U.K. Jazz singer Julie Dexter, L.A. saxophonist and big band arranger Don Menza , Lami Bajram Istrefi, afro-blues band “ Seeds of Creation” , sudanese acclaimed singer Amira Kheir , Afro- Venezuelan jazz quintet “Pataruco”, and various recordings for the London National Television School and the BBC, thus building an extensive music vocabulary based on Afro American tradition fused with years of classical training and experimental form-free music.
