Singer/Songwriter/Keyboardist Michelle Willis and her One Amazing Voice
"Fluid, powerful, graceful... such a fine writer... a soulful, rich, deep player and bandleader who just swings as if her life depended on it. One of the best singers I’ve ever heard in my life. Of all. Ever.” - David Crosby
British-born, Canadian-raised Michelle Willis is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who amassed an impressive resume touring and recording with a variety of different acts like David Crosby, Hiromi, Becca Stevens, Snarky Puppy, Zac Brown Band, Michael McDonald, and Iggy Pop.
A Toronto native, she moved to Brooklyn NY after the release of her debut album, See Us Through. It was here she honed her skills as songwriter and touring musician, leading a years-long residency at Rockwood Music Hall, collaborating with brilliant songwriters and musicians, all while maintaining a steady touring schedule with Crosby, Stevens, and her own solo work.
She has released two studio albums, a live record, and most recently, penned an EP whilst traveling through Scotland - Rich is the Wanderer, available here.
After the pandemic, a change was in store. Following a family trip to Scotland, several returns and musical collaborations later, Michelle happily landed in Fife to begin the next chapter. She can be heard on new works with Kris Drever, and was a co-producer on a to-be-released album by saxophonist Matt Carmichael.
