Michel'le

Michel'le Denise Toussant, known simply as Michel'le, is an American R&B singer and songwriter who made significant waves in the late 1980s and early 1990s with her unique, squeaky speaking voice juxtaposed against a strong and powerful singing voice. Born on December 5, 1970, in Los Angeles, California, she rose to fame with her self-titled debut album "Michel'le," which was released in 1989. The album featured hits such as "No More Lies" and the soul-stirring ballad "Something in My Heart," showcasing her vocal prowess and emotional depth as an artist. She was notably affiliated with Ruthless Records and is recognized for her work and association with industry heavyweights like Dr. Dre and Eazy-E during the peak of West Coast hip-hop's influence.

Michel'le's career has been marked by her chart-topping music, as well as her turbulent personal life, much of which was brought to the fore in the 2016 biopic "Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le." Her survival and resilience in the music industry and beyond have continued to endear her to fans. Despite a hiatus, she has remained musically active over the years, releasing singles that often reflect her growth and personal experiences. Songs like "You" and "It Still Hurts" exemplify her enduring ability to connect with listeners, while "Music from the TV Motion Picture Surviving Compton" serves as a testament to her lasting impact on the narratives of hip-hop and R&B culture. Michel'le's versatility shines through later releases such as "Classical Meets Country," highlighting her willingness to explore and blend different musical genres.
