About

6 MINUTE ESCAPE

Who We Are...

6 Minute Escape is the creative collaboration of visionary artist, painter, and multi-instrumentalist Mike Soloman and classically trained vocalist and film composer Michelle Carter. Since forming in 1997, the duo has forged a body of work that transcends genre — weaving together music, visual art, and immersive storytelling into experiences that are as evocative as they are undefinable.

Their sonic explorations extend across a rich creative landscape. Among their projects is A Meditative State, a frequency-based sound series born as a branch of 6 Minute Escape — exploring how tone and vibration can shape emotion and awareness.

Currently in development is LESEDI, a full-scale live theatrical Opera Ballet that unites narrative, performance, and visual art to illuminate the duo’s distinctive creative vision.

Looking ahead, 6 Minute Escape will release a new EP in Winter 2026, titled Living Between the Frame Rates — a collection that infuses their cinematic, emotionally rich sound with a vibrant pop and rock edge.

Each project invites listeners into a realm of transformation, reflection, and raw creative energy.
Welcome to the Escape.
