Michiko "Michi" Egger is a guitarist + composer based in New York City.

Michi is best known for her work in the musical theatre world. She began playing guitar professionally at the young age of 11, and has since graduated to playing theaters across the country for productions such as Broadway's The SpongeBob Musical 1st National Tour as guitar 1, subbing at Jagged Little Pill, and is currently the touring guitarist / broadway sub for the Tony award winning musical Hadestown.

In 2019, Michi was invited to play guitar/develop the guitar book for JEANNETTE, a new musical written by Ari Afsar (Hamilton) and Lauren Gunderson, directed by Erin Ortman, with music supervisors Mary-Mitchell Campbell and Meg Zervoulis.

Michi has four original solo albums in which she sings, plays guitar, and piano. Her song, “Glide Through the Flames”, can be heard in the independent BMX film, “Heroes of Dirt”. She also co-wrote the soundtrack for "The Day That She Died", a short film featured in film festivals in the US and Italy.

In May of 2024, Michi finished 3 years on tour with the Hadestown North American Tour, and is now back in New York full time. She continues to sub at the Broadway production of Hadestown, and has many other ongoing projects. She is a member of the creative team, as well as a featured artist and the guitarist for the new in-concert touring production of  Many Messiahs, a reframing Handel's masterpiece as a collective call for justice, is in the process of releasing a new album with her band Sherryfraser, and is excited to announce that she'll be a guest artist and instructor at Berklee College of Music this summer at their Guitar Sessions program.
