Her music is influenced by her Russian heritage,[1] and has been described as slowcore rock and "lo-fi pop".Her largest fanbase is in Eastern Europe.

Michelle Gurevich was born in Toronto, Ontario, to Russian immigrants and was raised with Russian as her first language.[1] Her father was an engineer in Soviet Leningrad and her mother a Kirov ballerina (the subject of Michelle's "Russian Ballerina").[1][4] Gurevich originally wanted to become a filmmaker and worked ten years in the industry before turning to music. "I eventually tried to write a song and found it was not only cheaper, but much easier to get a good result."[1]

Gurevich began her career recording in her bedroom.[1][4] The stage name "Chinawoman" was chosen as a spur-of-the-moment joke when Garageband prompted her former band name.[2]

Michelle Gurevich has cited Alla Pugacheva, Adriano Celentano, Charles Aznavour, Yoko Ono, Francis Lai, Nino Rota, Xavier Dolan, Todor Kobakov, Jennifer Castle, and filmmaker Federico Fellini as influences on her music.[1][5]

In 2013, "Russian Ballerina" was featured on the commercial for the Nokia Lumia 1020.

In 2014, Gurevich's song "Party Girl" inspired the 2014 French film Party Girl.

Here comes a vision
Dancing my way
A cosmic giggle
Invites us to play
When you see a line
A line that's worth crossing
You gotta cross that line
That's the art

The art of life

We belong together
We belong together tonight
In the art of life
We belong together
We belong together tonight

A magic potion
For me and for you
Love is a dream

When you see the eyes
That make you wanna turn away
Don't turn away
That's the art
The art of life

It's not everyday you get the chance
To be joined in such a perfect dance
So when the masterpiece offers you a hand
Take a chance
That's the art
