About Me

(Tokio Show in LA October 22nd, 2007)*It’s been said about Michelle Carter-Leis that ‘She has a voice where every note counts’ . That rings true when you see her perform live, you can hear the experience and pure raw talent that exudes from her. After playing many successful shows, and/or recording with such talents as Lukas Rossi (Rockstar Supernova), Norwood Fisher (Fishbone), Tyler Connolly (Theory of a Deadman), Alan Wong-Moon and songwriter Christine Connolly . Michelle has really made a name for herself in the music scene. Her voice has been heard on the entire first season of the hit show "The L Word" , as well as on Sony Music (media software). "Wake Her Up" was added to the ‘Sounds Like Café Vol. 10 Compilation CD’ in Australia, accompanying such great acts as Grammy Nominee Beth Orton , Corinne Bailey Rae and many others. She has played in many cities across North America showcasing her music to many different audiences, playing festivals as well as indoor venues. With her piles of blonde hair, sparkling grey blue eyes, and a sounds that pushes the borders of pop music. Michelle is a force to be reckoned with and will have a career to aspire to for years to come. PLUCKY!!!!
