About Me


"all I can do is be me, whoever that is." ~ bob dylan
my name is michelle lynn piland. i grew up in franklin, tennessee. i go to baylor university in waco, texas. someday i'm going to live in the rocky mountains...or in a foreign country...maybe california. i don't have any big career aspirations...i'm just looking for that place where my deep gladness meets the world's deep hunger (frederick buechner). i write songs because i love it. i have always loved it. i hope that can relate to the lyrics and be moved by the melodies.
