Story
Maklan writes songs about the quiet moments that shape a life.
Maklan is the musical project of Michael Scott Olberg, exploring memory, reflection, and the quiet moments that shape who we become. The songs begin with ordinary scenes — a road before sunrise, words left unsaid, a summer that stayed longer than it should — and open into the moments we only understand years later.
The debut album, The First Mile of Morning, is a seven-song journey through memory, regret, hope, and healing.
