Music

Michelle began playing the steel drum in high school at the age of sixteen and fell in love with the instrument. In February of 2000, she traveled to Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, the island nation that invented pan. After five weeks of daily rehearsals, she performed with the World Champion Desperados Steel Band for the 2000 Annual Panorama Competition, where the Desperadoes took first place for the tenth time in the contest’s history.

In addition to being a member of the University of North Texas Steel Band for over four years, Michelle was also a founding member of the Dallas/Fort Worth professional band One Credit Hour, which played numerous festivals, weddings, and parties, and recorded two CDs in its six year existence. After graduating from UNT with a bachelor’s degree in music education, Michelle was a band director in the DFW area before moving overseas. Michelle was a member of three groups in Seoul, South Korea: Pet Rock, a reggae/funk/rock band, Just, an original pop band, and the Nic Travis Quartet, a straight-ahead jazz group.

Michelle is now living and performing in the Seattle, WA area and is available as a solo act with backing tracks, as well as an addition to any ensemble. Please contact her for more information using the form below.
