TNSP's founder, Federico De Michelis, began his music journey as a young kid, listening to his father's albums. From Chick Corea to Piazzolla, from Willie Colon and Ruben Blades to Luis Alberto Spinetta and Jose Alfredo Jimenez, by the age of 13 he had a good idea of what music meant for him and the role it would play in his life.

As a teenager he joined the Escuela de Música Popular de Avellaneda in Buenos Aires, where he began his studies of Jazz and Latinamerican Folk Piano in addition to music theory, history, counterpoint and more.

Later on he studied voice and entered the Opera Studio of the Teatro Argentino de La Plata, where he sung his first operatic roles and fell in love with the importance of theater and story telling.

In 2012 he received a scholarship to study in the prestigious Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofia. He received the Outstanding Student award from the Queen Sofia herself.

In 2015 he joined the Opera Studio of Houston Grand Opera. He's been working as a freelance singer, curator and performer since then.

Today, his efforts are put in The New Song Project, the intent of which is to create new pieces, spaces, genres and experiences that speak to today's postmodern audience.
