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."

Oh My Golly Miss Molly....
Awwww.... you guys!!! And you know who I'm talking about!!! Matty Poo just delivered me a fabulous, lovely, tear-jerking postcard of the River of Seine from... well, you know who you are, you six lovely people!!! So here we are (Matty Poo and I) in a little Internet coffee shop sipping waters - it is TERRIBLY hot today!! - and we thought impulsively that we should send a little blog out to you angels. Thank you SO very much for making my year thus far. You have no idea the depths of my gratitude.
We actually recorded a few covers in our session last week - we will slowly make them available in the coming months. First off is going to be (I think) Will You Still Love Me, originally performed by the Nymphs and written by Carole King, I'm pretty sure. Anyhow, it's one of my favorite "oldies" songs (next to Lion Sleeps Tonight). Please do stay tuned for Nick Cave, Madonna, Portishead, Neil Young, Eurythmics and even Michael Jackson... heh, heh, heh. This is with much love to y'all!! And Ivar... extra kisses to you!!
Most Genuinely, XXOO -
Michelle and Matty Poo

Hi Guys! It's Michelle - thanks again for the post card. I'm going to keep it forever and ever! And it really inspires me to get a MOVE ON the new record. Oh, and I have extra kisses for EVERYONE - it's just Ivar had a fabulous suggestion in requesting covers! I've had loads of fun working these up. I really cherish, and will remember all of you - and hopefully, HOPEFULLY, I'll have a chance to thank you all in person one day!!
