Michael Schertenleib

Michael was born and raised in Zurich. Drawn in by his inspiring nature, his apartment in the old town has been a long term meeting point for many musicians, actors and artists. During his childhood, Michael was a member of the «Zurich Boys' Choir» («Zürcher Sängerknaben») and became the principal alto soloist. His performances in the «Zürich Opera House» («Opernhaus Zürich») and as a child actor in the town theatre «Schauspielhaus Zürich» created the basis for a variety of projects. In his later youth he predominantly devoted himself to music production and acting. As a self-taught music producer, he had his musical breakthrough in 2009 with Larry F's «Ufojugend», which received great recognition nationwide. This was followed by various concerts across the country as well as new albums. In addition to his frequent collaboration with Larry F, he is also the main producer of emerging local talent Palma Ada since 2017. His engagement as an actor grew simultaneously. «Ready, Steady, Ommm!» (2013, Oliver Rihs, Feature Film), «Platzspitzbaby» (2020, Pierre Monnard, Feature Film), «How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)» (2020, Arne Feldhusen & Mia Spengler, Netflix Series) and «Buba» (2022, Arne Feldhusen, Netflix Feature Film) are just a selection of his many appearances as an actor. Michael continues composing music, meanwhile for film scores, which can be heard in remarkable Swiss films such as «The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbruch» (2018, Michael Steiner, Feature Film) and «Der Büezer» (2019, Hans Kaufmann, Feature Film), thus combining his passions.
