About Micah

Micah began his music studies early in his youth with his father, who taught him the fundamentals of music theory and harmony. In High School, Micah utilized his background in music when he joined the Walnut Hills Wind Ensemble as a freshman, playing the bassoon. Micah would then go on to perform with the Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra, where he was taught by the CSO Principal Bassoonist Christopher Sales, and join the Nouveau program for minority musicians. As he began to take an interest in music composition, Micah decided to make three compositions for the Interlochen Center of the Arts Summer camp. It was after this experience where he got the opportunity to study with CCM Professor Ellen Harrison and create a composition for Artswave Isolation Commissions: The Past We Step Into.

In College, Micah continued his compositions as well as interests in game design by graduating with a Music Composition and Game Development double major in the Honors College of Miami University, as well as winning the 2024 Composer Dolphy Prize. Micah has composed works for various instrumentations involving woodwinds, percussion, strings, piano, electronics, and more which have been performed in live concerts and video game soundtracks.
