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's Almost Gone
As Mat as just informed me, I in turn inform you: THERE ARE ONLY 4 CINDERELLA's LEFT!!!!!November 9, 2004
Don't lose your heads over this, I urge you. However(!), if you've been planning on buying the demo album, "My Name is Not Cinderella" and have time and time again put it off, it would be in your best interest to buy one of the last 4. Seriously, after the 4, there won't be anymore. Unless, of course, Mat has a Magic Stash that he has only told me about. Regardless of there being a Magic Stash I'll be removing the "Buy It Now" link from the site after Mat gives me the "THE LAST 4 HAVE BEEN SOLD TO [insert famous person's name here]" e-mail that I anticipate.
If you want to beat [insert famous person's name here] to a copy of Cinderella, then please hop, very quickly, over to the music portion of the site and PAYPAL and/or credit card YOUR LIFE AWAY.

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*
