Biography
Michelle Cross is obsessed with her music. "I [play and write music] all the time. When I don't have a job I'm playing 14 hours a day. When I do have a job I play 4 or 5 hours a day. I have to do it everyday… as much as I can squeeze in." She describes her songs as therapeutic and very personal. "It's like my journal" although she admits she likes to "steal shoes" a lot.
Sprinkled with classical influences and firmly supported by strong vocals, Cross's songs tend to have a darker moodier feel to them. At times, there is a lot of aggression and rhythm in her piano playing, yet even at its most gentle moments her powerfully emotional and melodic piano-based songs have caused listeners to sit-up and pay attention."

Your CDs have been sent!
A message from Michelle:
Hey Everybody.
In regards to those of you waiting for a CD:
First off - I am SOOOO sorry about this crazy delay! I absolutely flipped when I found out what happened. I’ve felt horrid and anxious the whole time we’ve been waiting. But I’ll be sleeping a little better tonight, now that Matty Poo and I have sent them all out like pigeons. Your pigeon should be arriving next week, fo’ sure. Thanks for your understanding.
Secondly. Thanks to those who so generously bought a record. It is my deepest hope that you will like it. It’s funny - now that I feel free of these old tunes, I have room for all sorts of new tunes. I guess it can be a bit like playing solitaire, from what I understand of solitaire. It’s fabulous and I’m so glad it’s Spring.
And I guess lastly - Matty Poo and I are getting together on Sundays to work up a live show. We’re thinking we’ll make a little road trip MAYBE. It’s tough. We’ve both got rent to pay and such – but I’ve got a new job that might let me do this sometime this year. In the meantime, we’ll be playing in Chicago (give it another couple of months?). Between you and I, I absolutely hate playing out. I don’t know why – but there, I’ve said it.
My apologies and my thanks, once again. Matty Poo has Seal IV on right now and I absolutely must have a dance.
Truly,
Michelle
