Tell us about yourself ( Who is Michelle Shantel?)
I am a 22 years old artist and songwriter from Brampton, Ontario. I started singing at a very young age. My very first signing of GIG was in my current city Brampton, Ontario. I performed at the Brampton Rose Theatre for a musical event called " Centre Stage. Recently, I opened up for RNB
GINUWINE" at THE DANFORTH MUSIC HALL, being the only female on the show in a major city,
I am always working and writing new music and passionately perfecting my craft. You can find my music streaming in all PLATFORMS: Sound Cloud, Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube, etc.
When did you start singing?
I started singing at age 13, but I didn’t take my talent seriously until I was 17. That’s when I recorded my first single, “ Baby.”
Who inspired your music career?
My friends and family had a big part in my trying to achieve a music career. I’ve always actually been an entertainer from a young I started dancing first. I would always choreograph my routines with school friends and perform at school events before I even started singing. I’ve always been influenced by artists such as Beyonce and Rihanna. When it comes to performing, I always try and channel my inner Queen B, and vocally It would be Rihanna.
What is the inspiration behind your latest single release? “Does She Know” This new smooth R&B joint speaks about two different perspectives between a "MAIN GIRL" AND A "SIDE GIRL or maybe, in case, two " "MAIN GIRLS" who both share something extraordinary with a dude who is playing them? But one thing about us females is that our intuition is always on point, and we always FIND OUT. ...I BET SHE KNOWS!
Oh! I BET SHE KNOWS TOO. That is one juicy truck I am pretty sure many people can relate to that. So,what is (are) your most memorable moment(s) as an artist?
My most recent memorable moment had to have been opening up for Ginuwine at the Danforth Music Hall. It was incredible to perform on that stage for my friends and family. It felt like I was reliving my Centre Stage moment again.
What other projects are your currently working on?
I’m currently working on some summer singles such as “ Lose Control ” and plenty more. I’ll also be working on a EP very soon which is exciting because I’ve developed a new sound.
You are a fashionable girl! FASHION and ART play a significant role in the music and entertainment industry. Who are some of your styles iconic or influential?
I’ve never really been too into fashion until a couple of months ago. I’ve always been a very simple chick, but if I had to say, it would be Teyana Taylor.
What can we expect from you in the next two years or so?
An Album. A Tour. And More Great Music! As long as you all keep rocking with me, I’ll continue to grow and make these great things happen!
Who are other talented artists you would hope to collaborate with?
Tory Lanez. That’s my dude; I think we’d make great music together.
Oh Well, Please make that happen :D We hope you get Tory Lanez in one of your song #onrepeat trucks. We wish you all the best and continue to produce great music. We hope to see you again here on NEECEE LEXY for a re-interview as you tour the world.
