Music is a true extension of the soul, an expression of one's dreams and ambitions. And for 14-year-old Canadian Pop singer, Michala Todd, music is her way of expressing a passion for life.That's a lot to say about a young teenage artist, but it's a testament to Michala's true love of music, and of living life to the fullest.

Also working on Michala's current project: highly-regarded artist/songwriter/producer, John Acosta, who has also written for artists such as pop duo SKY, Canadian Idol Winner Ryan Malcolm, and Carol Welsman. Cyril and John were amazed that at the young age of 14, Michala was able to do all her own background vocals, something very rare in an artist this young.“The moment I heard Michala’s voice, I was stunned. Her voice is amazing. It’s very heartfelt and really touches me. I know my European contacts will think the same. It’s too good to be heard only by North American audiences. This is world class, and I know there will be great success in her near future. She deserves it. I’m so glad Cyril introduced Michala’s voice to me, and gave me the opportunity to work with her. I hope we continue to create great music together in the future.†– Carl Utbult, Producer/Writer, Karlstad, Sweden"I hope to someday display my talent to the world." - Michala ToddMichala's initial offering of recorded music (2006 with Richard Bruck) presents a trio of original Pop/rock songs which hint at this artist's future greatness.
