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."

Hi world...(and your Holiday '07 song)
For shame! I have been very gone. Truth is, this year wasn't the right time for music and such. I wonder why? It just wasn't. But I am optimistic about the New Year approaching. Well you have to be! I sat down at the old pianer the other day and felt a different yet familiar kind of music. Maybe I'm getting mucked up by all the new and wonderous music that's out there lately. Whatever it is, it's got a likeable thing to it.
I hope you are all well! Matty Poo and I scratched our heads over what we should do for the holidays. Well we missed Christmas - so just in time for New Years, I wanted to share this little song here Matty Poo recorded for me like, a year ago I think... I've always had a soft spot in my heart for this song. I sang it at my brother's wedding. If I can find a picture, I'll try and put it up. I'm sure I'll be frozen in some weird position...
So I wish I could hurry my ass up! While I work on that, you guys have a successful New Year n'kay?! New Year's is such an inspiring time of year, don't you think?
XOXO,
Mz. Michelle
P.S. to B: This is your cue... kisses:D
P.P.S from B: Here it is, darlings--exactly what you've all been waiting for. Michelle covered "Faithfully" by Journey. Your life's about to get a whole lot better. You can thank us later, after you've recuperated.Labels: Holiday Song

Hey Michelle! Trust me, I know exactly how you feel. This year has been one of the worst in my life! I just really hope for a better 2008 for everyone. It has to be! I was just telling my cat that I'm so sorry I lost his dearest brother back in Nov 05. I think he understood.... somehow... :) Sorry, I've had too much wine. :p Do you think you will be performing anytime next year? :)
Hey? I hope things will be better. You're far too talented to not make music! Trust me! :) ALl the best :)
Oh.. the reason why I asked that is cos I just quit my job.. alongside with 3 months' bonus... I gave it all back because I refused to be blackmailed to stay in that horrid place! Long story.... I like 2008, I think.... Ha!
yeah, this year wasn't exactly a riot :(
Michelle, i hope this won't discourage from making music, you know we love you right ? :/
i hope the best for you in 2008 ^^
(for you too Yee :*)
