Born in New York City to parents of Puerto Rican descent, Michelle was raised in a home filled with a love and appreciation for varied musical genres from Jazz, R&B, Soul and Funk, to Folk, Salsa, Hip Hop and her personal favorite, Neo-Soul.  Michelle’s diverse taste is evident in her emerging vocal style.

 

After years of following the NYC deep house music scene, Michelle was encouraged by friends and producers to pursue her life-long dream of singing. She began with writing poetry, songs and connecting with her voice. Shortly thereafter, Michelle wrote “Live It”, produced by legendary music producer/DJ/Remixer, Todd Terry.  Released on Todd’s InHouse Records label, “Live It” debuted on Traxsource's top 100 Soulful House Track list in February 2014.
