Michael Manzi is an American singer-songwriter and indie-rock artist based in New York City. Michael plays regularly with his band Hearts Open, and is known among fans for being  high energy performer. His songs are lyric driven, packaging folk and psychedelic traditions into modern pop/rock sounds. Michael also has experience top-lining for new musical theater and has performed as a featured actor, off-broadway at the Jerry Orbach Theatre.

Michael graduated in the class of 2020 from the NYU Gallatin School  where he received a BA in Individualized Studies, and a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health.
