Biography
Michael Ehlert Falch (born 16 September 1956 in Køge, Denmark) is a Danish singer, guitarist, author and actor.

Michael Falch started his career as a lead singer and musician in the Danish rock band Malurt established in 1977 and made up of 5 members: Michael Falch (vocals and guitar), Christian Arendt (guitar), Henrik Littauer (keyboards), Peter Mors (drums) and Dia Nielsen (bass).
