Artist History Michelle has been a songwriter for over ten years,and "First Four" is her debut recording. "First Four" came together soon after her move to Los Angeles, and she contributes that fact to her well-timed meeting with Producer/Film-composer Mike Shapiro. Mike heard an early demo of Michelle's from her student days in New York, and began arranging the songs, and crafting the string arrangement.
