The caliber of her professionalism and her graceful command of the stage is telling of Michaelina’s early career. It is beyond exciting. It is the essence of the Spirit. Romantic or jazz, latin or christian ... in Spanish,English,Portuguese or French... Her music originates straight from her soul which must be experienced in person.
Her musical beginnings with "Los Copacabana", a trio of Spanish guitarists,(performing for the USA military during the mid seventies in Vietnam)who hired her to sing with them on their Capital-Latino album debut at 15 years old and than toured the USA for 3 years.
After hearing her sing with the trio while they were staying in Hollywood to record an album at Capital Records, the USAF "Airmen of Note" Presidential 18 piece jazz band, asked her to join them. She did, and joined the United States Air Force to be the "Airmen of Note" female jazz vocalist singing in concerts all over the USA. She recorded with the "NOTE" at Capital Records along side Sarah Vaughn, O.C.Smith and many others during her military years. Her voice can still be heard on the USAF radio all over the world.
Her career continued and her childhood dreams of theater and musicals became reality when she sent in her photo and a cassette tape as her audition and was immediatedly asked to be the lead singer and star in the Follies Bergere for the next 5 years.
