The journey for singer/song writer Steven Knight began in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia . Knight, the 3rd child from a family of 4 siblings, developed a love for music very early. His earliest memories of singing included everything from choirs and choruses, to things as simple as mock concerts he would put on for his family for fun. As he grew older, Steven continued to nurture that gift and develop his craft when he joined his high school show choir. Though Knight possessed an immense amount of raw talent, this experience would assist in developing the amazing showmanship and stage presence he is known for today. As time passed, Steven began writing and recording his own material, and while attending Virginia State University , he would participate in various talent shows and music projects.

Upon graduating from college, Steven relocated to Atlanta, GA to take advantage of the budding music scene there where he would network and increase his visibility. Three months after moving, Knight caught the eyes and ears of Atlanta-based Independent label, God Dynasty Entertainment, and was signed shortly thereafter. During this time, Steven obtained management and began working with Vocal Coach, Donis of Marvelous Entertainment, respectively. With these new endeavors on the horizon, Knight began recording and developing his distinctive sound while also making a name for himself around the Atlanta area through performances at various showcases. Knight parted ways with GDE in 2007 to pursue other opportunities, but has continued performing and recording vigorously in hopes of taking the industry by storm.

The music business itself has been a diligent teacher for Steven Knight, guiding him through many obstacles, while providing valuable lessons along the way. Throughout his journey into the industry, Knight continuously encountered broken promises and pipe dreams that never seemed to work out. Though discouraging, it lead Knight to do something he had never done before, take complete control of his career. Knight decided to fund and develop his own project, which would in turn showcase exactly who he was as an artist via his ideas, unique style, and signature sound. To assist with production and recording, Knight enlisted the help of local talented producers, writers and engineers. His current music stays true to Knight’s roots and many musical influences that fans have come to love, but it also reflects a new sense of urgency and struggle, no doubt a product of the many trials he encountered along the way. What the future holds for Steven Knight is yet to be determined, but one thing’s for sure, the best is yet to come.

Michele’s stunning vocals have earned her backup singer gigs with the legendary RAY CHARLES and Spain’s RAPHAEL. Her singing has also been featured on the acclaimed HBO series SIX FEET UNDER and in films such as RATED X (starring Charlie Sheen) and KINGDOM COME (starring Whoopi Goldberg). Born and raised in Chicago, she moved to the Bay Area then Los Angeles, (with several-month stays in Madrid, Spain and Brisbane, Australia in between).

Now settled in Venice, CA, she has released her debut CD Plastic Garden. Influenced by artists such as DIDO, ZERO 7, BECK and MORCHEEBA, the CD is dreamy, modern pop with electronic and world elements. Zero 7 vocalist and artist MOZEZ calls Michele “A rising star . . . an artist with a unique beauty in her voice. A touch of grace.”

Captivating melodies and thoughtful messages make Plastic Garden a standout work. While some of her lyrics reveal dark truths “you’re an auto-pilot sitting smoking your smile,” Michele also offers hope — “fell into a rabbit hole and woke up in a different body, now I got a perfect soul.” Industry insider Scott Stimpson of Big Mountain Productions says, “Rarely do artists come along that are so cutting edge yet so respectful for all that has come before. Listen once and you’ll be instantly drawn into Michele’s world, one that’s complex with emotion yet simple with statement. A true tour de force.”

After soul-searching and writing an introspective record which takes us through a garden of love, self-deception, realization and hope, Michele sought out talented producers to help her brand her “Trip-Pop, Chill Fusion” sound. 5 different producers contributed to the 10 songs on Plastic Garden always keeping in mind her vision. “I wanted the chill, trip-hop elements of artists like Zero 7 in the mix,” says Michele, “yet I love middle-eastern melodies, Latin percussion and ethnic music samples. I didn’t want to be a world or new-age artist, so as you’ll hear, the essential flavor of my music is pop or adult alternative ala KCRW.”

This brilliant collection helped Michele place a track in the indie feature THE BLISS and to become a featured artist on the exclusive W HOTEL chain’s compilation CD. Her CD Release Party will be Sat. March 10th at Tangier in Hollywood, CA at 9pm and she is slated to be featured in an upcoming www.livevideo.com webcast devoted to emerging musical artists. Michele is also a budding actress, having had co-stars on the TV shows THE SHIELD, BOSTON LEGAL and STANDOFF.

Michele also has started to compose music for kids. Click here for some samples.
