Misha has a passion for all forms of musical expression. He was introduced to music by way of piano lessons as a young child, and he went on to broaden his horizons in high school by joining every form of music instruction that was available to him, including marching/symphonic band (trumpet, mellophone, and French horn), jazz band (trumpet and bass guitar), chorus (bass/baritone), and musical theater.

These days, Misha is focused on bass guitar as his primary instrument. He started playing bass as a preteen after receiving a hand-me-down bass from a family member, and this developed into a lifelong passion. He played in worship bands throughout his teenage and college years, and since May 2025, he has been an active core contributor to Ramah Malebranche’s progressive-folk project, Wooden Rings.

Born and raised in Central Florida, Misha currently resides in Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife Madison.
