“Music has the power to unleash the soul and set it free”

Michelle aka Miss Mercury knows what those words mean. Since she first picked up the guitar at the age of 14 years old, she has been using song writing as her voice to express the hardships of an uncertain upbringing. “We moved around a lot when I was a kid, and sometimes it became really lonely, having to start a new school, make new friends, get used to a new environment. I was always a pretty shy kid, and music helped me come out of my shell and express what I was feeling. It also gave me something to call my own and feel secure about. It is the ultimate therapy”.

Hooked after her first sessions in the studio with talented producer Sam Ryan, Michelle developed her new sound and image, Miss Mercury. Having produced and developed chart topping acts such as Krome, which was the second most played song on Galaxy Radio in 2009, as well as Destino and Brooke Nolan, Sam Ryan was able help take Michelle’s career as a singer/songwriter to the next level. She was able to reach deep down into her inner artist and write all new material for what has already turned out to be an ear catching and impressive sophomore album entitled “Retrograde”.

Already Miss Mercury’s music has been played on major US network shows such as The Lying Game, White Collar, Gossip Girl, Outlaw, Running Wilde, Community and Happy Endings.She has most recently sold a song which will be featured on the DVD release of the new Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz movie called Bad Teacher due out summer of 2011. Her single “No Chemistry” continues to receive airplay on Hot AC stations across Canada and she has received finalist nominations for several prestigious competitions in the past year, such as best new artist for the American Urban Music Awards, as well as for best pop artist at the Toronto Independent Music Awards.

Miss Mercury continues to collaborate on her own project as well as co writing for other artists and upcoming projects with talents such as Davey Badiuk, Dane Deviller and Michael Behm.
