Take a dive into The World of Mihael Hrustelj: composer, arranger, guitarist, poet and singer. Originally coming from Slovenia, currently based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands where he also graduated from the conservatory of Codarts. He is known for his uniqueness by mixing the sound of a nylon string guitar with guitar drumming, effect pedals, bass keyboard and his voice. These traits are making him and his barefoot performances recognizable and exciting to a broader audience all over the world. 

The music itself follows no limitations and is enriched with all genres with its core in World, Balkan and Slovenian folk music. The strength of his performance lies in rhythm and dynamics, which result in moments of pin dropping silence with gentle vocals up to complex virtuosic guitar playing. Putting his music in a specific genre might come across as ‘refreshingly puzzling’; that serves as a gentle reminder that music is bigger than name tags. He has released 6 albums under his own name and label – Worldwide Music Label. He is considered as one of the greatest guitar players in his area. As a composer, he is currently working on collaborations with choirs and big bands.
