History
Michelle's musical career began when she was 15, learning how to play lead guitar and volunteered in recording studios learning how to sound engineer leading her to work with great Australian bands like, The Church. She moved onto the position of A&R at Foghorn Records for the "Grow Your Own" Australian band compilations...this is when the idea of starting "Eyelash Records" was born!
Back then the inspiration started with Danny Tenaglia, Derrick Carter, Green Velvet, Nick Warren, Renaissance & Global Underground compilations.
Besides DJ'ing Michelle hosted a radio show on Rhythm fm (Sydney) called "Cycles", playing tribal house and progressive. Then moved onto FBI radio in 2003 co-hosting on "Sunsets" alongside Kid Kenobi (35 Australian DJ 3 years in a row)
In 2003, EYELASH RECORDS commenced teaming up with Foghorn Records. INNER CITY BEATS compilation was the first release. The goal: to feature unsigned and up-and-coming producers/groups from Australia giving them a chance to experience a release and showcase their music to the rest of the nation. Vol 1 (2003) & ICB Vol2 (2005)
DJ'ing took on a new life of its own in 2004 and her hobby turned into a career. She was invited to play at Field Day, Sydney's biggest New Years Dat event playing alongside Groove Armada, Roger Sanchez and Yousef and held residencies at Sounds On Sunday, The Chinese Laundry and Moulin Rouge.
