ABOUT
Hi there! My name is Michaël Valeanu and welcome to my website.
As you may know, I am a guitarist based in New York and I wanted to create a space where I can share my work with you.
Here, you can explore my work as a performer, composer and educator through articles, videos and links to my music.
You will also learn a little bit more about my life as a musician, my collaborations, my aspirations and my thoughts about music.
