Considered one of the great pianists of Brazil, Michel Freidenson is a composer, producer, keyboardist, and arranger. Founder of the legendary instrumental group "ZonaAzul," he participated in the effervescence of the Brazilian instrumental movement in the 80s.

At age 5 he began playing the guitar. At age 6 he started playing the piano, with guidance from Professor Arlete Ognibene who allowed him "freedom" to create, compose, and have fun according to the inspiration of the moment. Simultaneously, he had the guidance of a great Master, Roberto Ribeiro de Souza (deceased), the guitar professor who taught him music and its transformative power, teaching him to listen to music, perceiving the paths of sounds, intentions, and arrangements, independent of sheet music. At age 14, Michel attended Clam - Centro Livre de Aprendizagem Musical (Free Center for Musical Learning), run by the Zimbo Trio.
