He grew up influenced by Fairuz, Zaki Nassif, Charles Aznavour and Brel. Despite the unstable situation in Lebanon, Mike started taking piano lessons at the age of nine. In 1996, he joined the National High Conservatory of Music, and at the age of seventeen, he specialized in the Arabic opera. His musical curiosity led him to explore the Andalusian mouwachahat, as well as oriental and occidental singing, along with his classical piano education.
In 2001, his passion for theatre led him to join the Faculty of Fine Arts where he obtained his degree in Drama. At the same time, he took Jazz Ballet dancing courses at the dance school Arabesque. Mike has collaborated with the most important artists in Lebanon and the Arab world, from Lebanon to Egypt, Syria, Abu Dhabi, Algeria, Morocco, to the Netherlands, Italy and Belgium, where he performed in big festivals and toured with internationally known musicians and artists. His talent as an actor was discovered by many directors and scriptwriters, who offered him many roles in television and in cinema, in addition to short films, plays and musicals.
The year 2003 was a landmark in his career, because Mike released his first album of spiritual hymns entitled "Ila Ssama Atbaouka". In 2008, he composed the music of the documentary "Itsy Bitsy Spider" by Tania Nasr. A year later, he wrote, composed, and arranged "Sayf W Layl", an album featuring the Lebanese singer Nada, combining oriental melodies with Latin and jazz arrangements from the 1950s. In 2010, he wrote the original soundtrack of the film "Tannoura Maxi" by the director Joe Bou Eid, which was released in 2012. He has also presented his album "Ya Zaman", which he describes as a portrait of the Lebanese oriental man.

أنا يا حبيبي كان لازم حبك ع القد
يا حبيبي ولا مرة كاين حبك جد
يا حبيبي هيئتنا حبينا عن جد
أنا يا حبيبي مش لازم حبك ها القد
أنا يا حبيبي كان لازم حبك ع القد
يا حبيبي ولا مرة كاين حبك جد
يا حبيبي كان باين حبك جزر ومد
في إشيا اتعلمتا من كل وجع السنين
قضيتهن عم بنطر تاللي يصير، يصير
ولا ممكن نتلاقى ولا ممكن إنسيك
ولا ممكن إتناسى مشكلة الحنين
يا حبيبي مش لازم حبك ها القد
أنا يا حبيبي، حبيبي
آه يا حبيبي ولا مرة كاين حبك جد
يا حبيبي كان باين حبك جزر ومد
في صور من الماضي اللي عم جرب إمحيه
خبيتهن ع الفاضي ولا طالع بالإيد
بكرة مننسى مبارح وبننسى الحنين
يا ضيعانن كلماتي يا ضيعانن السنين
أنا يا حبيبي مش لازم حبك ها القد
أنا يا حبيبي كان لازم حبك ع القد
يا حبيبي ولا مرة كاين حبك جد
يا حبيبي كان باين حبك جزر ومد
لا بتحكي ولا بتشكي لا خريف ولا ربيع
لا كان حبك ينقَص ولا كان بده يزيد
شكلك مش سئلان ولا مهتم كثير
يا ضيعانن حبيتن أكثر من كل شي
أنا يا حبيبي، أنا يا حبيبي، أنا يا حبيبي
يا حبيبي ولا مرة كاين حبك جد
يا حبيبي هيئتنا حبينا عن جد

My lost lover, I loved you more than anything
أنا يا حبيبي، أنا يا حبيبي، أنا يا حبيبي
I, my love, I, my love, I, my love
