Tomas Michaud

 

Tomas Michaud is a master guitarist, composer and producer who has been possessed by the muse of music since before he was ten years of age. With prodigious acumen, Tomas developed his musical technique with the trumpet, electric bass and mandolin before he discovered his first love, guitar, at the age of fourteen. Soon he was performing throughout the San Francisco Bay Area developing a popular following which now numbers in the thousands.

Tomas graduated from California State University at Hayward and has expanded his musical influences by visiting such destinations throughout the world as Spain, Puerto Rico, Mexico and other Latin American countries. His most memorable excursion was visiting a village healer in Guatemala while hiking next to an erupting volcano, Mount Pecaya.



In addition to his concert and recording successes, Tomas has developed an innovative course in guitar instruction. He founded and operates the Starland Music Center in Alameda, California, which has a student enrollment of over 300, ranging in ages from four to seventy-four.

"I would like to reach deep into each person's heart with my music and have them feel the connection we all have as humans through the love and joy as well as the sorrow and longing" says Tomas.

Tomas is busy writing music and performs on a regular basis.
