His award-winning programme included a song from Columbine, a musical for which he has written both music and lyrics, with a finale of The Music of the Night from The Phantom of the Opera.

He fought off close competition from fellow RWCMD students Dafydd Gape and Jonathan Radford, as well as Rachel Lee Stephens at the final in Swansea on Sunday 3 July.

Michael also won the College’s prestigious Ian Stoutzker Prize for outstanding musicianship in 2015.
