Occasionally there comes along an artist that commands your attention.

A sound that seems to transcends any particular genre.

One that causes the listener to pause and take notice.

For the modern Jazz world that artist is without question Michelle Walker.

Her sound breathes a sense of unexpected familiarity to the listener.

Not knowing what pleasures she will bring next to the microphone leaves you with anticipation.

Her deep and stirring voice has won the acclaim of a broad audience in the local music scene in the Washington, DC area.

She can be seen regularly at some of DC's local jazz venues.

Jazz Vocalist, Michelle Walker, has been described as a sultry and soul stirring singer in the styles of Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson and Diana Krall.

The gifted singer has a way of making the lyrics come alive.

In this DEBUT CD RELEASE, she expertly captures the mood of each tune and takes her audiences to harmonic highs.

~ She performs straight-ahead jazz standards written by the great songwriters of the past such as Johnny Mercer, Nat King Cole, Jerome Kearn, and Cole Porter as well as some of the best loved contemporary songs.
