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."

Cinderella CDs
The last Cinderella CD has been sold. Last week, Selena bought the CD combo of Smoke and Cinderella and thus ends our supply of available Cinderella CDs. However, I do still have 2 signed (and therefore open) Cinderella CDs. So if you don't mind having Michelle's autograph across the artwork of your CD, let me know and I'll be happy to get it out to you.
I'm sure it's fairly obvious that we have no intentions of pressing up another batch of Cinderella CDs. Yet we definitely want to make the music available to as many people as possible. This is why full song mp3s of the Cinderella EP are available on this site. And in addition to that, I would like to make another offer. Anyone purchasing "Smoke Like Perfume" who also wishes a copy of the Cinderella songs, let me know and I will include a CD-R with your Smoke CD. Yes, it will be "home-grown" and not feature much in the way of art or pictures (though I promise not to send a Sharpie labeled CD either!). But since the cost of making such a CD is negligible, I'll be happy to include a copy for you. Perhaps I'll have Brianna change the combo offer to be the same price as a Smoke CD but with a burned copy of Cinderella.
So thanks to everyone who has purchased "My Name is not Cinderella" over the years. I hope you are enjoying them. And here's to looking forward to future songs and CDs from Michelle.... Enjoy!
