She began studying piano and composing original music at the age of nine, and hasn't stopped since. She has received awards from the Royal Academy of Music for piano and violin and the Bishops Award for Voice.

After Graduation
Surprisingly, however, Michelle didn't initially intend to pursue a career in music. As an art history major and anthropology minor at West Chester University in West Chester, Pennsylvania, she found herself managing the Walt Disney-Tishman Collection of African Art after graduation[1] in a somewhat frustrating role:

It was heartbreaking in some ways for me because...I had come from the Guggenheim where if somebody sneezed in the general vicinity of a painting...a conservator was there with a little Q-tip...and I was now working for a corporation...that because it wasn't necessarily making them any money, they were a little bit more trepidations in spending money on the collection...it was frustrating mostly at times to work for them because of that reason.

Music As A Career
Fortunately for her fans, after about 18-months at Disney's Imagineering arm, Michelle decided that "corporate America" wasn't for her and made the decision to reconnect with her musical roots while working as a waitress in Southern California. Indeed, it was during one of her waitressing jobs that she just happened to play a few songs on the piano while the scheduled performers were on a break, that the audience's reaction was so overwhelmingly positive that she realized that music was something that she needed to seriously pursue.

It was the most bizarre experience...everybody sat down and was quiet...I played three songs and people were asking me where my album was...

Success
Her songs have garnered attention in both film and television over the past few years. One of her songs "Stay" has been featured on "Alias" for ABC, "Wonderfalls" for Fox and the WB's "One Tree Hill" as well as in several independent film projects with Group 101. Another song, "Over You", was featured on "Smallville" for the WB network and the newly recorded "I'm There Too" played on the premier episode of Aaron Spelling's new drama "Summerland". "Summerland" also used "I Will Be Fine" later in the season and "All That I Want" featured in the premier episode of NBC's "Las Vegas". A recent showcase of the Sundance film festival introduced Michelle to many independent feature film makes some of who are using her music for upcoming projects this summer.
This past year, Michelle has been working on various other music projects in Los Angeles and the UK. "Project PI" by Al West features Michelle singing her song "Please". The album will be release in Europe by the end of this year.

Michelle is an active participant in the singer/songwriter community of Southern California, and has performed at clubs as diverse as the Whiskey A Go Go, the Hotel Cafe, Ghengis Cohen, the Joint and the Temple Bar, to name a few.

She recently recorded a select few songs with producer Evan Biegel of Seasound Studios in North Hollywood and is collaborating on an electronica album, due out early next year. New acoustic recordings are an on going project and a compilation of some of them will be released over the next few months.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the things you are to me, darling you have set me free
Always give you what you need and what you desire.

All the joy and all this love, and all that it is from above
Now together there's enough to fill this world..

(Chorus)
'Cause you are the love of my life, you are the love

of my life..and now we're man and wife.

All the things that you would do..you know I'm standing
next to you, darling I will see you through the rest.. of our
lives.. With you beside me I have won, I'm glad I waited for
so long, but there's no doubt that you are the one..for me.

(Chorus)
You are the love of my life, you are the love of my life..
and everytime, they'll be things, everything is gonna be fine..
Now you're in my life.

So I give you heart and soul, its yours to take wherever you go,
through the years you'll always know it's yours to keep. God has blessed this
sacred vow, Angels high above look down, see the two
of us we've found the perfect love

(Chorus)
You are the love of my life, you are the love of my life..
You are the love of my life, you are the love of my life..
Now we're man and wife..we're man and wife.

Now we're man and wife..we're man and wife..
