<h2>About Me</h2>
<p>I’m Michael Warras — a music composer, producer, and audio engineer. I learned to play keyboard between 1996 and 2001. In 2005, I created my first melody and, soon after, my first instrumental.</p>
<p>After years of independent study in music theory and music production, I earned a Beat Design certificate from Deutsche POP Academy in 2008. In 2023, I began studying audio engineering and music production at HOFA-College, where I completed the Audio Engineer program.</p>
<p>I work across genres and bring my full commitment to your project — from the first musical idea to the finished sound.</p>
