His Violin playing is totally infectious, eclectic, flamboyant, and very sensuously delicate, all awhile intertwining the loud and sometimes brash……and just like the man, Mykl lives this persona with great passion and insight as he captivates the audience in this awe inspiring musical journey of spontaneous performance art. The fact that Mykl is handicapped living with the crippling disease of me/cfs is not only a testament to this violinists amazing will-power to achieve, but a true source of inspiration to people everywhere.

Passionate and inspirational, the eclectic sums Mykl up very nicely.
