“..When I listen to her sing I am reminded of a wise woman from the early days of female singer- songwriters named Laura Nero. Michelle natually inhabits all the simple honesty that Nero brought to her voice and marries it to the super diva singing that we have been hearing since Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston arrived on the scene. I am constantly amazed and moved by her technical prowess while at the same time I am moved by her tenderness, truthfulness and vulnerability…” - Amy Fradon, Singer/Songwriter/Recording artist/Producer http://www.amyfradon.com
