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."

Mad World
Oh Boy - this'll have to be a quickie... I've worked on ZERO music since my last message and I'm starting to wonder who I'm becoming. Needless to say, I must find an island of time I can escape to. This is really nuts; between work, Spider Monkeys, paranoid schizophrenics, and sleeping - there is not a single, free moment. But I suppose this is life, and my P's are so happy that I'm strapped into a sturdy job. I see it more like when you try and put shoes on a dog, but I suppose I can understand their joy. But I feel grateful and optimistic - frankly, there's no time to be blue. You know what? The best stuff seems to come out after a long time of not visiting with your instrument anyway. It's a bit like getting the cream off the top again. Maybe it's fate's way of making me digest all the crap from this year thus far. So we shall see, but I thank you, my little ring of listeners for checking in. Oh, and the Pop's thing is a trip. It's a nice refuge and I aim on having Matty Poo record some of the new tunes. I feel inspired and like a mermaid in there because the ceiling looks like moving water.
*hugs*
Michelle
