About Michelle

Michelle is a performing musician, composer, and music-book author based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Whether performing her own compositions or her arrangements of standards, Michelle honors the roots of jazz, Brazilian, and Afro-Cuban music while adding a new voice. Her CD New Beginning (April 2013) garnered favorable press as well as worldwide airplay on 200+ satellite and terrestrial radio stations. It made JazzWeek's chart for "Top Adds" (among the CDs most added to playlists of chart-reporting radio stations), the ballot for Grammy consideration for "Best Latin Jazz Album," and spots on a few respectable latin-music blog "Best of 2013" lists.

In addition to her Latin-jazz project, Michelle plays solo piano or as part of a duo. She is available to entertain at your next event! Learn more about her offerings here.
