Hello there!

My name is Michael

I am the founder and mastermind of Richter Studio.

My story began at the age of 13, when I received my first guitar as a gift and picked up my first melody on the first string by ear. By the way, this was the main theme from the movie “Titanic”.

My love for writing music and the creative process in general led to my dream of becoming a sound engineer and founding my own studio.

About me

During my school years, I helped many beginning musicians and friends record their first tracks and vocals.

In order to understand how to do it better, I decided to major in music production, and entered the University of Central Lancashire (England). I absorbed the experience of important teachers in the music world such as John Lacey, Phil Bush (known for his work on the soundtrack for the film “Transformers”), Paul Greene, and others.
