Bio

Born in Panama and raised in Miami, niece of Panamanian singer Ruben Blades, Michelle combines her love of latin culture with a fascination of Brooklyn jazz and experimental tape music. Her main instrument being a ukulele, Michelle's offbeat vocal technique shows hints of inspiration from Ivy Anderson to Devendra Banhart. A unique attribute to Michelle's music is she improvises several songs in her set. After throwing a dart at a map (which landed in Arizona) Michelle moved to Phoenix where she began attending school studying Indology and Sanskrit, and emerging herself into the local music scene. Shortly after moving, Michelle was signed to River Jones Music label and released a demo CD titled "Where The Water Boils". Since then she has posted a free album on Last.Fm titled "Knots to Hear to Feel" of songs composed and recorded in her bedroom, and is now working on her first full album with River Jones Music.
