Auckland Singer Songwriter Michelle loves playing with music and melody. Song-writing is her hobby, and she does it for fun. The songs on this Profile were recorded and mixed in her bedroom with friends recruited to play the parts (note from Michelle: "Andrew, Nick and Simon - you guys are da bomb and you are all extremely talented - thanks for playing in my songs!").
With a BE in E&E Engineering, and a diploma in audio engineering, Michelle is not scared to get her hands grubby in the technical side of music and recording too. Shed rather be in the studio behind the glass, in the control room. She dabbles in playing piano, sequencing and various other musical instruments she likes to pick up.
Michelle Klaessens runs " The Rock Factory Community " up in Auckland with her partner Mark Rawstron.
