Musician Bio
Michelle Schmitt began playing guitar and writing songs when she was 12 years old. She moved to San Francisco in 1977. Gifted with a soulful voice, the ability to express her feelings through her heartfelt songwriting and a talented band, Michelle delivers songs that stand the test of time. A modern 70’s vibe best describes her sound, beautiful harmonies, strong, honest and intelligent lyrics. Growing up in Detroit, Michelle was exposed to great music and credits artists like Joni Mitchell, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Carole King, Eva Cassidy, Bonnie Raitt, Buffe St. Marie and Emmylou Harris for her inspiration. In 2005 Michelle was invited to contribute a song on a record featuring six Grammy winners and two Rock & Roll Hall of Famers (including Bonnie Raitt, Kenny Loggins, Bill Medley, Roseanne Cash, Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell, Beth Neilsen Chapman and Mike & the Mechanics). Michelle worked at Sound Management in San Jose, California in the early 2000s before opening Lilysong Records in Marin County. In 2006, Michelle opened the doors to her state of the art San Francisco studio, Harrison Street Records, and opened Pine Mountain Studio (both designed by the renowned studio designer, Wes Lachot) in Alexander Valley in 2008. In 2015 Michelle purchased a new Sausalito location to spend more time doing what she loves; songwriting. Michelle is committed to giving back what has so generously been given to her and records for and performs at numerous benefit concerts, helping organizations that assist homeless adults and youth in San Francisco and Marin County, the LGBT communities both in San Francisco & Marin County, Meals on Wheels SF, ExtraFood.org, SF/Marin Food Bank, Shanti Project in San Francisco, Anti-Bullying organizations and various youth drug prevention programs. 100% of all proceeds of Michelle’s music goes to causes that she cares about.
