Nascido em Essex Fells - New Jersey (NJ), Michael musiclogo, pianista, cantor, violista clssico, compositor, letrista e arranjador. Um
multi-profissional que se apaixonou pela msica brasileira em suas andanas pelo mundo.

Lahue se apaixonou pelo Brasil durante um Festival de Jazz na Sua, poca em que estudava jazz e msica erudita na Universidade de Graz (ustria).
Assistiu apresentao "Festa na Bahia" com Armandinho, Dod e Osmar, Simone Moreno e Pepeu Gomes. Foi ali que o jovem norte-americano decidiu que a msica brasileira seria sua companheira de palco e de alma.

Mais tarde veio o encantamento pela voz da mulher brasileira nas gravaes de Astrud Gilberto e Flora Purim, assim como a venerao por Tom Jobim.
Acabou fisgado pela MPB, uma celebrao da simplicidade, da sutileza e da pureza; a voz da alma, como ele mesmo define. Assim no teve mais jeito e quando caiu em si j estava seduzido. Como msico, compositor e letrista resolveu render-se aos feitios do Brasil. Logo foi aprender portugus e estava compondo bossa nova com um dicionrio ao lado. Depois ingressou para o Conservatrio Carlos Gomes, em Campinas (SP).

Todo esse caso de amor com a msica brasileira acabou gerando o compacto Sonho. Das 13 faixas, nove so de autoria prpria. Com canes complacentes, belos arranjos e voz sempre afinada, esse americano de apenas 29 anos quer tocar no corao dos brasileiros e engrossar a nova gerao da MPB.
