Overview

I'm a soulful singer/songwriter and can be hired as a solo singer or performer or with my band. I'm seeking any music based opportunities.

My debut album “The Great Unknown” has received acclaim by both fans and industry people. I've had my original music featured in TV shows such as: "Shameless" on Showtime, "Madam Secretary" on CBS, "The Lying Game" on ABC Famiy, "Shark" starring James Woods and "Madam Secretary" starring Tea Leoni for CBS, the MTV shows: "Blonde Charity Mafia," Teen Mom 2" and "The Real World: New Orleans." I also was "Staff Pick" for Clear Channel New Music and my songs were finalists in both the John Lennon & The Billboard World Song Contest.

What to expect

Either an intimate, acoustic performance with me as the vocalist and pianist, a guitarist and a violinist or cellist or a full band with a drummer and bass if you want a bigger sound or have a larger group of people. Or you can hire me as just a vocalist to do singing telegrams or for parties and special events or occasions.

About

There's an interesting story behind Michele Jusko’s inspiration to pursue her love of music as a career. Michele was adopted as a baby and her adoptive parents are wonderful people but don't have a musical bone in their bodies. Michele wasn't really exposed to music very much growing up. Several years ago, Michele found her birth mother and discovered music was definitely in her DNA. Her mom was a singer, her biological father was a pianist and bass player and graduated from the prestigious Manhattan School of Music and her maternal grandfather was a percussionist for the Boston Symphony for more than 20 years.

Michele's debut album “The Great Unknown” has received acclaim by both fans and industry people. Michele’s had her songs featured in TV shows such as: "Shameless" on Showtime, "The Lying Game" on ABC Family, "Shark" starring James Woods on CBS, "Charmed" (currently airing on TNT & WE), and the MTV shows: "Teen Mom 2," "Blonde Charity Mafia," "16 & Pregnant" and "The Real World: New Orleans." She also was a "Staff Pick" for Clear Channel New Music and her songs were finalists in both the John Lennon Song Contest and The Billboard World Song Contest.
