Chrisette Michele
b. Chrisette Michele Payne, 22 December 1982, Long Island, New York, USA. R&B singer Michele was brought up in a strict Christian family; her father was a deacon, and she sang with gospel choirs in her teens. She made her mark on the US music scene as a session vocalist, and in 2006 appeared on major releases by Jay-Z ("Lost One") and Nas ("Can't Forget About You", "Still Dreaming"). Her smooth, jazzy vocal style attracted the attention of several major labels, leading to a contract with Def Jam Records. Her debut album featured a stellar production and writing team, including Babyface, John Legend and Will.I.Am, and was released in summer 2007. While Michele's vocals were consistently strong, the album as a whole fell curiously flat and was marred by the singer's overly reserved approach.

She sounds so grown, so oldschool, yet so fresh and new at the same time. I really appreciate the sophistication in her sound. -

Her voice is out of this world. The old school flavor is unmistakable! She is a powerhouse! -
