Michelle performs solo with keyboard, voice and sometimes flute/whistle. Music genres range from jazz, latin, celtic, classical, broadway and more. I like to get people involved by singing along and dancing. With my various bands, the same is true. Always professional, friendly, thoughtful and making a special effort to create unique and memorable performances that leave smiles behind.
I've got my own set of high quality gear and arrive completely self-sufficient. Over the years I continue to compile themes as well, so many different ideas are available. I'm always taking requests and learning new songs. YouTube shows my various videos and livestreams (a collection of songs and photos).

...is an accomplished performer, teacher, accompanist, session/studio musician, songwriter, composer and arranger.

Her beautiful voice and vivacious flute playing have delighted audiences all around Canada and the US.

Michelle is also a teacher, offering instruction in flute, whistle, piano and music theory in North Delta, BC.
Depending on the event, I bring everything I need. I've got a stage plot available for each of the bands I'm in.
For each and every event at which I perform, I create and craft a special and unique set list. This is based on their requests or my own ideas, which can come from the many themes I have collected. I'm very flexible!
All the jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, but also Classical performers like Jean-Pierre Rampal (flute). The list here would be enormous if I actually wrote down all the influences, which include past and current performers, songwriters, composers and arrangers.
Access to power and that's about it!
