composer / multi-instrumentalist / mixing engineer / producer
Born in North Yorkshire, England and raised between England and Oman, Misha began his life as an inhabitant of two worlds. Spending his formative years shuffling between these two vastly different homes, ingrained in him a lifelong weirdness and appreciation for the unusual & wonderful, with music at the core of it.
Misha earned a BA Honours in Music Design from Bournemouth University and later moved to the United States to pursue his passion for music. As a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer, Misha collaborates with creatives and filmmakers to craft emotionally rich, character-driven musical landscapes, bringing warmth and depth to every project.
As a session musician and touring drummer, Misha has recorded and performed with artists including The Stevenson Ranch Davidians, LSD and the Search for God, Laura Stevenson, Stewart Lupton (Jonathan Fire*Eater), Tennis System, the black watch, Simian Life, DTCV, and Last Tide.
Based in New York's Hudson Valley, Misha is a core member of the psych-folk band The Stevenson Ranch Davidians. His creative pursuits extend beyond music however. As co-founder of an independent video game company, he’s currently developing multiple projects that explore the intersection of sound, story, and design.
Misha's home studio - nestled in the wooded lowlands east of the Mohonk Preserve - is both an animal sanctuary, as well as a personal haven for sonic experimentation and creative discovery.
