Michelle's classical training began in 1993, studying most recently under the tutelage of a Professor at the Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music. Her singing repertoire is extremely diverse and ranges from Italian Arias to Rock. She loves to perform in a wide array of venues and sing many genres of music. 

Michelle's extensive training and experience has enabled her to become one of Cleveland's most highly sought after wedding and funeral ceremony soloists.  She sets herself apart from other soloists by singing both traditional and contemporary pieces with conviction and ease.  Having over 15 years of experience, she is very knowledgable of ceremony proceedings and adept at selecting appropriate and compelling music.  She is personable and enjoys working with families to plan the perfect music selections to enhance the ceremony.  Her goal is to deliver beautiful singing while relieving a little of the stress that is sometimes associated with ceremony planning. 

Jerry Bruno Productions, a music/entertainment agency in Cleveland, has represented Michelle as a soloist since 2003.  From 2008 through 2011, upon recommendation by Jerry Bruno, Michelle performed as a lead vocalist in R.A.C.E. - Northeast Ohio's Premier 7-Piece Live Band - 2009 and 2010 Top 5 Winner of Fox 8's Hot List for Best Music (Wedding Category) in Cleveland and Akron-Canton areas.  In addition, R.A.C.E. was recently featured in the February 2010 edition of the magazine Weddings in Cleveland in an article entitled "Breathing Life into Your Party!" 

Outside of her current band performances, her other recent highlights include singing as a featured soloist in a Concert Series at Playhouse Square, Tower City Center, and “the FEST” with the singers of “Raine Austen & Resounding Joy!”, singing lead vocals in the pop/rock bands “the Knock-offs,” “Satellites Down,” and “Licorice,” and singing in radio commercial jingles throughout Ohio. In addition, Michelle regularly performs as a featured soloist with various international Christian and Catholic Recording Artists and is also a seasoned theater performer.  While obtaining her Bachelor of Science Degree in Geological Sciences at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, she was chosen to perform with the O.U. School of Music's Opera Theater program in Mozart's opera, "The Magic Flute."  She has performed in Professional Show Choirs and in many Musical Theater productions.  Her most recent Musical Theater performances include performing as a featured soloist in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at Huntington Playhouse in Avon Lake, Ohio and performing in various cabaret events showcasing Broadway songs.

In the midst of a very busy and fulfilling career, Michelle is also a mother of three kiddos and a wife to a very patient husband.  She continues to volunteer as a Cantor, soloist, and choir member at St. Christopher Catholic Church in Rocky River, Ohio, where she is on staff as the funeral and memorial mass Cantor.
