Born and raised in south London, Michelle O Faith is a young vocalist, songwriter, and producer making Alt-Pop music.
Classically trained, Michelle has a Bachelor’s degree in Music. Aged 10, she was awarded a scholarship for tuition in Classical Voice. By age 18, she was a concert-level Opera singer. This technique seeps into Michelle’s vocal delivery, making for a distinct and striking sound that has earned her comparison to Kate Bush and Lana Del Rey, alike. When reviewing her debut single, Paul Bridgewater, Editor at Line of Best Fit, deemed Michelle: “the singer-songwriter with the most interesting vocal style we’ve heard, so far, this year.” Her music has also received support and praise from CLASH, Hunger Magazine, Earmilk, Record of The Day, The 405, amongst others.
Michelle's last project, the 2017 EP Birthday Blues, was funded by PRS Foundation through their prestigious Women Make Music Award. Michelle promoted the set with a series of electrifying live shows at some of London's most renowned independent music venues - including The Bedford, Troubador, Tooting Tram & Social, Hoxton Underbelly, Dublin Castle, and BIRTHDAYS, (a sold-out gig where she served as support for IAmDDB).
Currently, Michelle is rolling out her most ambitious project to date - a trilogy of EP’s titled Lagoon. The set is funded by MOBO’s through their MOBO Help Musicians Award. Volume I of the trilogy was released in June 2020; and preceded by singles Bloomsbury Hotel, Speaking in Tongues, and Lemonade (Pt. II). Volume II of Lagoon is slated for release at end of Jan 2021. Its lead single Black Lolita was released on 18th September. To date, its music video has racked up 60,000 views on YouTube.
