About Michael Aartsen
Michael Aartsen is an Indonesian jazz guitarist recognized for his expressive contemporary jazz style, marked by clear melodic lines and refined dynamic control. Deeply rooted in a musical family legacy, he is a key member of The Aartsen, the family ensemble led by his mother, acclaimed Latin jazz pianist Nita Aartsen.
Active across both the Indonesian and European jazz circuits, Michael’s career bridges cultures and stages. He regularly performs in family-led projects alongside his brothers Brandon (bass) and Alexander (vocals), creating a tight-knit musical dialogue shaped by years of collaboration. Beyond the family ensemble, he is also a member of Borderline Indonesia, a progressive jazz group that has appeared at major festivals such as Java Jazz Festival, Ngayogjazz, and Suara Festival, as well as on European tours.
This Michael's debut performance at Seken will feature Nita Aartsen.
