I Am - Chrisette Michele CD

Currently putting the finishing touches on her soulful debut album, an artistic exploration that fuses 24-year old Chrisette Micheles diverse musical interest into a wonderland, the young artist couldnt be more pleased. I realize that Im new to the music world, but Ive been preparing for this moment for long time, said the Long Island native who once attended 5 Towns College. Even before signing a recording contract, Chrisette Michele had performed on the same concert bills with more established artists like Kem, India Arie, Angie Stone, and Lionel Richie. India saw me singing at the Village Underground in New York City. She came backstage that first night and graciously offered me a gig as her opening act, said Chrisette Michele. Working hard in the studio writing songs and recording demos, Chrisette Michele finished an album worth of material before even trying to get signed. Ive been creating songs since I was twelve, so I knew I needed the right musical blend in order to stand-out from the many other performers trying to get a deal. Though already a fan of gospel and classical, it wasnt until Chrisette Michele was seventeen that she also developed a passion for jazz. When I was still in high school a teacher introduced me to jazz singer Astrud Gilberto, and afterwards my life was all about jazz, she remembers.With the release of, Chrisette Michele will soon be sharing those musical dreams with the rest of the world.Additional Info: Personnel: Chrisette Michele (background vocals); Salaam Remi (guitar, piano, drums); Norris Sirone Jones (guitar); Face (acoustic guitar, drums, keyboard programming); Sandra Park, Lisa Kim, Sharon Yamada (violin); Eileen Moon, Jeremy Turner, Qiang Tu (cello); Steve Williamson (clarinet); Emily Mitchell, Lino Gomez (bass clarinet); Vincent Henry (baritone saxophone); Bruce Purse (bass trumpet); Kelvin Wooten (piano, organ); John Legend (piano); Rob Lewis (keyboards); Christopher Johnson, Robert Smith III , Omari Williams (drums); Doug "Biggs" Ellison, Kendal "KD" Revanales (programming).
