Raised in Australia's southern most state of Tasmania, Mikhail Hofmann (M.Hofmann, by trade) grew up on a simple musical diet; Elvis and 90s AM Radio.
​
It wasn't until his early teens, that Hofmann first picked up a guitar, which would become a daily ritual. He then tried his hand in various bands over the years, moving around before arriving in Sydney. Meanwhile, a private therapeutic songwriting habit helped keep a steady stream of creativity and experimentation throughout his teens and twenties, until the decision to strike out on his own became a clear one.
​
Now Hofmann launches his solo career with his debut single, 'You Don't Have To Stay'. Drawing on influences throughout history, blending the classics and the modern; Hofmann's sound treads the line where Americana, Heartland Rock, and British Jangle meet. A lush landscape of synthesizers, 12 string guitars, and rhythmic acoustics lay the foundation for a punchy first release.

With further singles planned and work underway on a full length record, we can only expect to see more of him in the future.
