Music Is Love

About Me

A smooth lilting voice being heard over the familiar tone of modern music. A warm rich sound that harkens back to the sensuous caress of a jazz songstress. It stirs the emotions that pay homage to a lineage of artistry that has evolved from the genius of spiritual music. This is Michelle Rowsell- A voice that can soothe the soul.“When I think about my childhood I think of the sounds of music echoing through the halls of the three-story apartment building where I was raised. Laughter, dancing and the anthems of Funk by the legendary Cutis Mayfield, the Soul of Gladys Knight and the Jazz of Charlie Parker rang routinely through the day”. This is where the music journey began. Having studied jazz performance and music production at the most esteemed institutions in Canada, Michelle has polished her talents and evolved her artistry as a singer, songwriter. music educator and vocal arranger.Her music has been captured on the recordings of international gospel artists and film and television. Her voice has been featured in commercial jingles and voice over work. With a passion for music, she has study under the direction of jazz innovator Phil Nimmons, jazz recording artist Carol Welsman, and the late Classical Singer Joyce Britton. Her gift for vocal arranging has given her the opportunity to write music for Juno award winning gospel choir Sharon Riley and the Faith Chorale. Her love for the Lord has brought her to the ministry of Praise and Worship.Inspired by the sounds of bebop and jazz, old school funk, gospel and R&B music she combines all of her gifts. Michelle ventures into the production of her own project to create a sound that is typically and uniquely her own. An eclectic collaboration of sounds that reflect her musical style and celebrate the spiritual journey of life.Michelle Rowsell will captivate you and embrace you.
