“she’s just so relaxed, her playing, look at her shoulders are down and relaxed, she just looks so calm it’s exactly what you want to see” - DR. Jonathan Faiman, ASCAP award winner/Pianist http://jonathanfaiman.com


“An amzing voice!!!” - TONE-Z, Rapper/Producer/Emmy Nominated theme song for FX “Justified” http://www.tone-z.com

“ You are seeing the making of a true artist. Her pitch is flawless, and she sings with the nuance of Aretha. Damn good songwriter also.” - Brian Taylor, Broadway/Former Principle Flutist New York Philharmonic http://www.soundpainterstudios.com


” I found Michelle’s performance really touching. In fact, I almost cried in the studio…its true I sware. Tears.” – Mat Sartwell, The Journal News for The Listening Room

“..When I listen to her sing I am reminded of a wise woman from the early days of female singer- songwriters named Laura Nero. Michelle naturally inhabits all the simple honesty that Nero brought to her voice and marries it to the super diva singing that we have been hearing since Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston arrived on the scene. I am constantly amazed and moved by her technical prowess while at the same time I am moved by her tenderness, truthfulness and vulnerability…” - Amy Fradon, Singer/Songwriter/Recording artist/Producer http://www.amyfradon.com


“Multi-talented and beautiful. More than a little impressed.” - Lewis Hamilton and the Boogie Brothers, winner of Scottish New Music Award for Scottish Jazz/Blues album of the year

“More later, but I found Michelle’s performance really touching. In fact, I almost cried in the studio … I am such a jackass … but it’s true. I swear. Tears. Check out the show for yourself.”
Mat Sartwell - The Journal news

“Michelle DeAngelis of Yonkers stopped into The Listening Room yesterday and dropped some power pop on our heads. What is her thing is singing and songwriting. She blew through three songs with no retakes and really kicked butt. ”
