She currently lives in Los Angeles, California and is originally from Queens, New York City.

Michèle always knew from as far back as she can remember, she wanted to be involved in music. She started singing and performing at the age of five and then began writing poetry and songs. She formed a band with some friends in high school and played in clubs around NYC. After high school graduation, she moved to Tucson, Arizona to study Creative Writing (Poetry) and Music at the University of Arizona. While in Tucson, Michèle fronted a successful rock band that traveled and performed in the Southwest, before setting her sights on the next step—moving to California to pursue her dreams further. Once in Los Angles, she quickly formed another band and became the lead singer, producer and songwriter of the project. It was an acclaimed performance art ensemble featuring films, slide shows and actors performing skits accompanying the music. During that time, Michele also worked with a leading music video production company and she produced videos for many major label artists.

Michèle’s first major songwriting cut and sync was performed by legendary soul artists Sam Moore & Junior walker for the feature film Tapeheads. Her first professional music production and next cut came shortly after when she produced Sam Moore on a song she wrote for him and the feature film Car 54, Where Are You? During that time Michèle was taken under the wing of hit maker producer/writer Nile Rodgers who mentored her, wrote with her and introduced her to some young writers he was working with. Together they penned the world-wide hit hip hop song “Contribution” sung by Mica Paris, featuring rappers Eric B. and Rakim (the premier DJ/MC team of hip hop at that time). With these successes under her belt, Michèle signed a major publishing deal with Island Music and was on her way…Since then she has had hit songs with many, many major label artists worldwide. The list can be found on her official website http://www.sweetersongs.com.

Her hit song “Get Over Yourself” recorded by Eden’s Crush and the theme song of the TV show Popstars is listed on the Billboard Top 100 Girl Group Songs of All Time.
She also developed, produced and co-wrote with now major international artist Kesha, and has had close to 6000 music placements (syncs) including and counting themes and title songs. The full list is also listed at her website.

She has been nominated for and won numerous awards including prestigious Emmys and was on the Emmy-winning music team of TV show “Guiding Light” for 18 years.
In addition, these days Michèle is a sought-after speaker on panels, conferences, schools, for her expertise on music publishing and licensing. Her signature course From Song to Sync is very popular and has educated many who have gone on to do great things in the music business. Look out for her book release soon.

She is also very involved in giving back to the music community that has given so much to her; currently serving on the boards of the Television Academy Music Peer Group Executive Committee and the Production Music Association Composer Advisory Board. She is very excited for her upcoming service with the California Copyright Conference and IAFAR.

Michèle works out of her own studio Sweetersongs East in Santa Monica California for her production company Mob Force Productions and continues to enjoy her passion for producing, writing and publishing music every day.
