A native New Yorker, Michele Denise M. grew up singing with her brother and sister in one of the first Catholic gospel choirs in the nation. Michele also sang in the performing arts program of her high school. It was never Michele’s goal to be a solo artist. Her parents always encouraged their children to stay together and that was Michele’s plan. So in the 90s, she invited her sister and brother and four other friends to join her in the McDonald’s Gospel Fest competition. To her astonishment, the newly formed septet reached the semi-finals and a star was launched. Based in Brooklyn, the group performed locally, including singing the national anthem for the New York Knicks. "Simply Mystique" toured the talk show circuit and ranked third out of 10,000 contestants in the Arsenio Hall Flavor of the Future talent competition. A few years later as the members of Simply Mystique went their separate ways, Michele built on the group’s success and began working as a background and studio session singer in London. Having lost most of her sight at age 9, Michele grew up relying on her residual vision (about 2%), the familiarity of her surroundings and the support of her family and community. Moving overseas and attempting to live and work on her own stripped Michele of her illusions of independence. She also found that performing without the group’s support was nearly impossible. Clearly, something had to change. After returning from London, Michele moved to Minneapolis for blindness training at Blind Incorporated. With her training complete and her newly earned long white cane in hand, Michele pursued dual degrees in performance and music business. A busy student, Michele still performed regularly, debuting as a featured vocalist at the acclaimed Guthrie Theater.
