Your musical influences
"I dig all facets of Blues from Country to Rock and classic Memphis Soul, rhythm & blues. Growing up in Oakland, CA, music was always the centerpiece and staff of life at home. My mom had a varied collection of albums like Harry Belfonte, The Righteous Brothers, Ray Charles, Mahalia Jackson and African and Island sounds! Then I heard Aretha and Tina Turner and I was really taken in!" Influenced by that commanding, Gospel/Soul sound, Michele’s own musical expressions exude attitude and confidence...but especially honesty.
What equipment do you use?
Know yer gettin' personal! HA! For music, my key purchase the last few years was a powered 15" JBL monitor! I got so tired of crappy monitors and being drowned out. I sing pretty hard sometimes and this puppy has saved me over and over again. I LOVE it. That's a good puppy.
Anything else?
Yeh, I could go on and on... and just might... or please feel free to contact me.
