Hi, I’m Michael Coltham
I create music for quiet moments, lead Black Lab Music — a Sonic Branding and bespoke composition studio — and teach guitar from my studio in Kent.
Released on the 26th June
I’m a composer and professional musician. My work lives in the quiet spaces where emotion, memory, and sound meet.
At 54, I create from a place of depth and lived experience, shaping intimate piano and guitar lines, and contemporary textures into music that feels honest and human.
When I compose, I’m looking for stillness — a moment of clarity in a world that rarely slows down. Each piece begins with a feeling or a small truth, something worth holding onto, and I follow it until it becomes a place listeners can step into and breathe.
My hope is simple: that the music offers connection. A sense of calm. A moment of reflection. A reminder that even in the noise, there is beauty in the quiet.
