Michael Ustynovych-Repa

For anyone who remembers Michael U-R in Libera (2011-2013), I thought I’d post a past and present of his talents.

A little background on Michael:
Some Libera fans from back then believed that Michael was earmarked to become the next face of Libera. But sadly circumstances conspired to cut short his time with the group. He won a scholarship to some prestigious boarding school, and had to leave early. I believe it was a similar story for James Mordaunt (2008-2011).

Michael’s younger brother Mark was also with Libera from 2013-2015, but only traveled once with them (Easter 2015) and left in the summer of that year.

Here is Michael, aged 10, performing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” alongside Ciaran Bradbury-Hickey.

And here is Michael, aged 18, performing a cover of a Tom Misch song.

As you can see, Michael has grown into a real talent. He’s now a multitalented musician, singer and composer.
Remind you of anyone?

Woo thanks for the info! Seems like a lot of Libera boys go on to be superb musicians, composers, etc. Like Josh Madine, Tom Cully, Ralph Skan and the much older boys who now help out in Libera like Ben Crawley, Simon Lewis and Steven Geraghty.
