Influences: I wish I could put down some cool eclectic obscure influences down but if I'm honest my influences are Amy Grant, Michael W Smith, Kelly Clarkson, and a host of other pop artists. I grew up solely on Christian music so that's probably why I want every song I write to hold some powerful truth or insight.
I have been writing songs since I was 12 years old. As I've aged my songs have grown with me and evolved into art that is engaging and thoughtful.

Hi Michelle, this was my first FAWM too and I am so happy we were able to collaborate. I am truly a fan of yours. Your voice is fabulous! I hope to see you for 50/90 or at least next FAWM. I would be very happy to collaborate again in the future. Enjoy, Andrea
Hi Michelle, thank you for your wonderful collaborations. Your singing and vision for each song are gorgeous and super special.
Congratulations with winning.
Have a great Spring.
Thx for our collab. Hoping to do a collab album and would like use ours is that OK..
Sent you the link to the wav file; hope you enjoy it and had an excellent FAWM
Yay Michelle. 14 songs.
I will send you some probably tonight sorry for the delay! :)
Thank you Michelle!!! I think I have a few more in me... I'm going to aime for 4 more by the end of Feb... We shall see... I plan to sit down and devour all of your gorgeous creations tonight after dinner. xoxo
Hey! Unfortunately my skill set only allows me to do lyrics!
Hi Michelle.
You are very kind.
If any of my tunes grab your attention, go for it. I'm not precious about any of them.
And I have a couple here that are possibly more structured as a lyrical song anyway that I haven't posted yet that I could send you if you like?
I try to go all out on everything :D
Glad you like it, I'll try to finish up the next few days.
You can preview it here, but I still want to fix some stuff before posting.

Yeah, mostly done, just listening to the mix yesterday, and I think I need to tweak the pitch correction and harmony vocals just a little, but probably will have time to finish tomorrow or thursday.
A choice between lyrics 2 sent to your email.
happy to do a lyric if you want - just let me know
hi! i posted the collab. do you have a suggestion for the title?? that was fun, thank you so much for the collab, twin! :)
Me too can't wait to hear Liam Neeson with music because I have no idea yet how to do that but let's hope I do get an idea. Preferably a great one but I settle for a crappy melody too. :D
Thanks for the listen and comment on 'Something Wicked'!
thanks for the lyrics! they look awesome. i have 10 hour work days today and tomorrow, hope to get it done by sunday :-)
Thank you Michelle, I'll email you. If you don't see my email within half an hour please check your spam folder.
You might want to delete your message with your email address from my wall as sometimes we get spam as a result of posting our email adresses. Looking forward to collaborating with you.
Hi again Michelle, I don't think a contact button to get in touch with you. Could you please send me your message via the contact button on my board and I'll send you all the details. Thank you.
typo in my college email, of course, b/c I was rushing. Good old wesleyan, not welseyan. I'll take what you sent and get to work on it.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Michelle. My collaborator Kristi wrote the lyrics. I'll send you the instrumental and the lyrics when I'm at my computer, during the evening. Thank you so much.
hi twin! :) i would love to collab. if you have lyrics that i could put to a melody that would be fun. i don't have bandlab - is it free?
Hi Michelle, I've enjoyed listening to your song "Struggling". Would you be interested in collaborating? I've collaborated with another songwriter on a song and we both would love to hear your vocals on it. The link to my instrumental is https://nadiacripps.bandcamp.com/track/pretty-memories
Please kindly let me know if you are interested. No worries if you are busy though, just thought I'd ask.

You are very kind, thank you. :-)
I can also do either, do you have a preference?
tysm for the comment! :)
Thats pretty normal here for me but bear in mind, it includes 4 quick skirmishes and 2 collabs! Its all about having time, something i usually have.
Agh I dig the collab so much!!! Thank you so much! You literally captured the spirit and esscence of the lyrics and made them into a beautiful song!
I sent them thank you :D
Hey! I wrote some lyrics, I am just not sure where I can send them to you? (also if they don't speak to you I can write another set this is just the first one of the month.)
Yes I saw @negasi come on and I have updated the list. Thx and Happy collaborating.
Hey I am totally down to collab, sorry I just saw your message on my soundboard now! I'll send some lyrics your way as soon as I have some :D
Have fun fawming! Looking forward to hearing your beautiful creations!
Welcome back! have a great FAWM fellow Canuck
Hooray Michelle!!! Can't wait to hear what comes out of that beautiful brain of yours this February!!
Okay, I wasn't sure if you would get one or not. In any case, happy FAWMing!
I accidentally suspended you for a few seconds when I tried to add you to my watchlist so I apologize in case you get any emails about that—Looking forward to hearing your stuff and welcome to the FAWMily!
Hi Michelle. Welcome to FAWM. Lets do this.
Hi Michelle. Great to see you here.
A quick tip - and one that catches everyone out at first.
Reply to comments on your soundboard (this page) by going to the poster's page and posting on their soundboard. It seems a bit clunky at first, but that's the only way you can guarantee the other person will actually read your reply. ;-)
Clicking on their name in the post will take you straight to their page.
Hi Michelle!
I'm looking forward to hearing what you come up with!
Welcome Michelle. Happy FAWMing!
Welcome Michelle! Hope you love it here :)
Thanks for all the welcoming posts everyone. Can't wait to share my music with you all.
Thanks @pipewrench67 ! Good to know.
Hello and welcome to FAWM! Lots of friendly supportive people here and I see that you have already found your way to the forums and asked a question. I look forward to hearing your music :)
Welcome 2 FAWM. All the creative best to you come February!
Hello, you asked about changing your profile picture, it can't be done (yet). the version of the site you are looking at is brand new just went live yesterday. It's a very small team (mostly 1 guy) that keeps this site going. I'm pretty sure he wanted to get the important musical and communication aspects up first. there will be changes as the month goes on, one mentioned was the profile pix. also see; https://fawm.org/forums/topic/12013/
Welcome to FAWM!
I hope you have a fantastic February!
Welcome to FAWM! Wishing you a great time here!
Welcome, and happy FAWMing!
