Sillken is made up of formerly two solo artists until recently - you may have seen them at the Freetimes Cafe, C'est What, and at other various acoustic gathering spots around Toronto. Sillken moved to Vancouver two years ago, where they are active on the west coast music scene. With warm vocals, classical guitar, and violin, Sillken weaves together a tapestry of heartfelt contemporary country/folk originals. Michèle's is one of those voices that draws you in and makes each song feel personal and intimate. Michèle has a great interest in furthering the cause of women and female performers. Some of her signature songs include a song that asks the question, What is a Woman? Often inspired by other womens stories, she has created the Elle Chronicles--a series of songs crafted from the words, phrases, text and partial or whole stories of real women depicted in this popular pop culture magazine. These melodic collages have become snapshots of the lives of everywoman, such as a moment in time with pregnant Mary Jane Parker or the neverending cycle of drug abuse and low self image of everywoman in the song, On and On. Endearingly, called the mistress of mellow, Michèle's music catches you off guard as it invites the listener to share the profound, yet familiar in her lyrics. Her songs are introspective, philosophical, historical, fictional and autobiographical. Comments about her music include the following: "Michèle writes reflective lyrical ballads, always charged with a message, which may keep you thinking for days or minutes - her writing transcends time. She has a unique vocal styling that provides a strong clean delivery for her tunes."--Brian Gladstone, Renaissance Café, Toronto. "A couple of Michèle's songs have been playing in my head since I last heard them. I find her music gentle with an edge and provocative; its like the total is more than the sum of the parts; it wants you to come closer and feel it; and the feeling gets you high."--Tim Mar, Little Mountain Neighborhood House, Vancouver.Look for Sillken on the Acoustika Vol. 6 compilation cd produced by 272 Records.Sillken made Track of the Day!
