Michelle Macedo is a recent graduate of Emerson College with a B.F.A. in Acting. She was born and raised in Pasadena, California and has been performing since a very young age. Her literate, intimate, stately music has been turning heads everywhere she has performed, from Los Angeles's Tribal Caf? to the All Asia Cafe in Boston. Her whimsical, ethereal tunes can be compared to Regina Spektor, Beth Orton, or Joni Mitchell, but Michelle has a style all her own.
