Michele is amazing! I met her several years ago at her concert when I first moved to Arizona while I was attending a music seminar about the music business. I love her rich singing voice and it has been a pleasure to speak with her and get to know her. I’m excited to have her contribute and inspire us on the blog. We’re blessed to have her music to listen to. If you ever want to know anything about what’s happening musically in Phoenix area – she knows! Sign up for her newsletters to be notified.
