Artist Of The Week - Michelle Chamuel

     Finally, the madness has subsided here. I get to write my first official blog since my hiatus these past few weeks. Thank you to those of you supporting the new nail polish line 'Playlist Polish' (see last blog for more information). But more importantly, a MASSIVE THANK YOU to those of you reading and supporting this blog. The love and support that is shown is truly appreciated. Thank you. ~Christina Peace


     Now, to why you came here. I am so excited to be doing this blog. I saved it for this week because I wanted to make sure I had the time to focus and really write about Michelle Chamuel. Like most of you, I heard about Michelle once she auditioned for NBC's The Voice. She appeared in the third episode of season four singing Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl'. Her performance grabbed the attention of judges Adam, Shakira and Usher. Ultimately Michelle went with team Usher.
     Michelle had auditioned for The Voice before, but this was the first time she made it to the blind auditions. Prior to The Voice she was doing music as a solo artist and went by the name The Reverb Junkie. She went on to join a band by the name of My Dear Disco which was later changed to Ella Riot. Here is the music I found that she released prior to The Voice.

(This may not be all the albums or EP's Michelle has released, but this is what I found doing my research. If you have any more links please leave them in the comments below. I would love to have them and would gladly add them to the blog.)

     During her time on The Voice, Michelle captivated viewers everywhere. She delivered an entertaining and incredible performance every time she took to the stage. From her audition singing 'I Kissed A Girl' to 'Time After Time' which she dedicated to her coach Usher; Michelle gave performances that left viewers in awe and wanting wanting more. I was sad to see that she didn't win The Voice, but she still won in other ways. She opened so many peoples eyes and minds as to what it means to be an entertainer. You don't have to fit some mold with your look or sound. It's okay to be your self and to be different. Think outside the box and make moves that others aren't. It works well for her and she has gained thousands if not millions of adoring fans. 

     Michelle is a rare find in the music industry, meaning that she's not just beautiful on the outside, but she's beautiful on the inside as well. Then there's her voice, she's can go from being soulful and elegant to raw and edgy in the same song. Her range blows my mind and I can't wait to see what she puts out next. I know I will have it on repeat for at least a week! Like the rest of her fans, I'm waiting for a tour and especially for one or more of the tour dates to be in Asheville, NC! (Hint, Hint!!) I have faith that she will have success in all she does and I know the upcoming music will be great. 

     I thought I would post some songs and videos below of some of my favorites from Michelle. There are also links further down the page so make sure you check them out as well. Dance, vibe out and just enjoy the following! ~Christina Peace
