An instrument of rare beauty, Michaelina's voice must and foremost be called a gift from God. Not a soul who hears Michaelina sing would argue that His gift was inappropriate, because the exquisite lady who owns it shines through her blessing with the ability of a master magician. But what you're hearing is no illusion... It is real.
Premiere Latin producer, arranger, composer, conductor Bebu Silvetti calls Michaelina's singing breathtaking, and you'll understand completely the first time you hear her cascade up and down the register - liquid and fluid throughout.
Undeniably rich, her range is matched only by the emotional depth she conjures. The passion she unleashes knows no boundary, and it is all the more magnified by her control of her art. This is why world class musicians all want to work with her
