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."

Asian Quake/Tsunami
Oh Boy... My heart is broken. There's been a tsunami in my heart, and I can't stop the tears. I can't handle talking about it for too long because I know I'm going to end up balling again. I surprise myself. I don't like crying. I hate babies. But this, my friends, is too much. Too much for me to even quite understand and my thoughts turn entirely to those who are affected by this horrid, horrid event.
I found myself needing to do something about this - but I'm poor, living from paycheck to paycheck (and not minding, really - aren't we all in this boat?). My pals are the same way - yes, we could send our play money to the Red Cross, but it doesn't feel like helping. SO, I am trying ferociously to get together a HELP! show where we can donate some money collectively to send to the Red Cross. Matty Poo doesn't even know this yet... (hi Matty Poo). So please, please stay tuned. Next week I should have some more info. If you guys know ways we can help, let me know, 'kay? I'm just so sad. I can't even believe how many people are gone.
Anyhow, it feels weird to wish a Happy New Year, though if circumstances were different, I would wish it with a bunch of exclamation marks. You guys be safe tonight and think of good resolutions to improve ourselves. You guys are so wonderful to me, and I thank you so much for the interest you've taken in my tunes. Thank you (little tear).
Michelle
