About Me

I have BIG curly hair and an obsession with words.I am a songwriter, aspiring author, and a self-proclaimed bookworm.I was born/raised in Nashville (apparently that's a rare thing) but I lived outside of Detroit for a few yearsMost people close to me describe me as a bit of a free spirit or a "hippie child"My dream car is a turquoise 1954 GMC Pick-up truck, but I currently drive a red 2000 Ford Mustang.I know that God is in control of everything so I’m learning to let things be what they are—and not try to fix or control things that are not in my power to fix or control. When I have a considerable amount of disposable income, I want a very specific brand of miniature house pig (www.royaldandie.com) She will be pink and her name will be Emmylou (costing $4000 and not growing bigger than 30lbs).I have 2 brothers, 2 step-brothers, 1 half sister, 1 adopted sisterI went on amazing adventure to find myself and learn how to forgive when I saw my father for the first time since I was 5 years old last fall.I LOVE ice cream, goldfish crackers and apple juice.I have never had a whole can of soda in my entire life (carbonation stings my nose!)I have small feet and an extensive collection of children’s slippers.I have big blue eyes and a bump on my nose (remnants of my Cherokee heritage—only like 1% is left in my bloodline. Sadly, that's not enough to get free college).I’m not particularly intelligent in a book sense, but I’ll admit I’m slightly ingenious when it comes to talking my way in and out of things. Evidence: I managed to talk myself out of my senior year of high school and into graduating after 11th grade.Ultimately, I am just trying to be me the best that I can, and hoping that I can make a living doing just that.For booking contact: Michel Johnson [email protected]
