About Michal Menert
Michal Menert was born in Kielce, Poland while the country was under Communist rule. As a young child, he and his parents fled to the United States by way of West Germany, becoming political refugees. During his childhood, Michal’s father exposed him to a wide variety of Eastern and Western music, giving the boy fertile soil in which to plant his musical visions early on. Coming from a musical background of playing guitar, keyboards, and dabbling in a variety of other instruments gave Michal a unique approach to composing his own musical style.
He grew up in Colorado with Derek Vincent Smith of Pretty Lights, and together they played in several bands and challenged and inspired each other as they developed their own unique production styles. He co-produced the debut Pretty Lights album, “Taking Up Your Precious Time” and has collaborated with Derek Vincent Smith on a handful of tracks since then. His solo album, entitled “Dreaming of A Bigger Life” was released on Pretty Lights Music in the spring of 2010. Michal’s second album, the critically acclaimed mega-LP “Even If It Isn’t Right,” dropped in spring of 2012. In addition to Pretty Lights, Michal has collaborated with Break Science, Mux Mool, Paul Basic, Manic Focus, and many others. During the fall of 2013, Michal set out on his first national headlining tour: the much lauded, 41-stop Space Jazz Tour that took him across both America and India.
Michals upcoming “Space Jazz LP” will mark his third release on the Denver-based PLM label. His sound combines obscure vintage samples from both Eastern European and Western vinyl with rich analog synthesis and organic, hard hitting beats. It is a fusion of yesterday’s elements and tomorrow’s ideas.
