Michel began his musical education at the age of six when he started taking piano lessons. He showed a natural talent for music and quickly progressed. At the age of ten, he started composing his own music, and by the age of twelve, he had written his first symphony. Michel continued his musical education at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he studied composition under the guidance of renowned composers such as Olivier Messiaen and Pierre Boulez. He also studied piano and conducting, which helped him to develop a deep understanding of music theory and orchestration.

His compositions were characterized by complex rhythms, dissonant harmonies, and unconventional instrumentation. He was known for his experimental approach to music, which often challenged traditional musical conventions. One of Michel's early works, "Symphony No. 1," was premiered in 1972 and received critical acclaim. The symphony was a complex and challenging work that showcased Michel's unique style and musical vision. It was hailed as a masterpiece of contemporary classical music and established Michel as a rising star in the world of classical music.
