It's important to me to be very real & to surround myself with realness. I am honest & down to earth & try to interact with people who share those qualities. My greatest accomplishment is raising an intelligent, responsible, & good hearted child who will be an asset to the universe.

About me: Born & raised in New York City, Michelle Valentine has been a part of the entertainment industry most of her life. As the only child of a single mother also in the business, Michelle spent much of her childhood in recording & rehearsal studios studying tap, jazz, ballet, hip-hop & modern dance, as well as fencing, acting, piano, & music theory. Thus, it seemed that she was destined to be a part of that world. Being exposed to the arts at such an early age caused Michelle to realize her passion for it almost as soon as she could talk. At the tender age of 3, Michelle became a regular on Sesame Street. As an adolescent, she won numerous pageants and also began modeling and doing television commercials. During high school Michelle continued her pursuit by participating in all productions both on the stage and behind the scenes. She's done jingles, theater, film and television & has now cultivated her love for writing, ultimately taking her talent from amateur to professional.
Knowing the importance of perfecting her craft, Michelle graduated Cum Laude from Marymount College where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Speech, Drama, & Communications, while minoring in Marketing & Creative Writing. During her studies, she edited & created screenplays for the college, wrote for the campus newspaper, had a radio advice show & assisted in writing music video treatments. As a writer, she has freelanced for several magazines, contributing stories on artists like the legendary Chuck D and the multi-platinum selling Destiny’s Child. As she cultivated her writing style, she began writing songs while also referencing, doing backgrounds and ghost vocaling for several artists.
Beating out 100s of hopefuls, Michelle was chosen to help revive the group The Covergirls with her lead and background vocals. Although the group was already in existence prior to her arrival, Michelle gave the group new life as the new lead vocalist, helping them secure a recording deal with Sony’s Epic Records. With Michelle’s sultry rendition of the R&B classic “Wishing On A Star”, the group had a top 5 hit on Billboard and won a New York Music Award. Proving her versatility, Michelle successfully recorded the song not only as a ballad, but also as a hip-hop influenced version – not only in English, but also in Spanish. The hit, which ran for many years as the theme song for one of Brazil’s top novelas, enabled her to travel & perform on stages all across the US & abroad, for audiences of all races, creeds, and colors, demonstrating her obvious universal appeal.
Having limitless aspirations, Michelle also co-hosted a nationally syndicated radio show called “The Coast to Coast Hip Hop Count Down”, where she conducted numerous on-air interviews with some of today’s hottest artists alongside the infamous "Uncle" Ralph McDaniels. As if all of this wasn’t enough, she embarked on her career as an author and has recently completed her second novel (A Girl’s Gotta Eat, scheduled for release in October, 2007 by St. Martin’s Press) while her 1st book, entitled Nyagra’s Falls, published by Simon & Schuster, is currently in stores. She also recently completed the fictionalized autobiographical epic entitled, Insatiable – The Rise of a Porn Star, with adult film superstar,Heather Hunter, scheduled to be released in July. With hopes of one day seeing her name on small and big screens alike, Michelle is currently involved with several feature film projects, as well as a television sitcom pilot.
“Those who rule themselves, can rule others & the world……” is a motto that Michelle lives by. It keeps her focused and grounded, spiritual and true to herself. In a world that often tells us what we cannot do, Michelle has proven that the sky is truly the limit!
