Born in Toronto, Ontario, Michelle Mondesir has always had a passion for music. Michelle’s experience in the music industry is impressive for a 26-year-old. As a 2005 graduate of Fanshawe College’s Music Industry Arts program, this smooth stylin’ soul sista is bound to be a success. She had two nominations for the MIA 2004 Awards, and at the 2005 MIA Awards, Michelle, along with Bart Milczarczyk and Frank Clyke won Best Songwriter for their collaborative effort "Change", judged by Michael McCarty, President of EMI Publishing Canada. Her variety in musical outlets is reflective of her many influences. These include R&B, jazz, soul, rock and world music. This songstress’s library has risen to over 400 songs and shows no sign of stopping.
2008 proved to be a big year for Michelle as she was nominated for best R&B artist at the TIMA’s, and was awarded best R&B soul female artist as well as best R&B song for her track "Don't Stop" at the Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards.
Michelle has been involved in the world of music from an early age playing piano from the age of 5. However, Michelle found her real love in singing and song writing. She has sung in numerous competitions, concerts and benefits over the years and continues to work on various projects, including guest appearances. In 2006, Michelle participated in a children’s compilation album "Cool Babies" and looks forward to continuing her work on this series. In 2007, Michelle took part in a fundraising compilation CD for Aids/HIV in Africa.
Currently, Michelle has been focusing on writing, producing and recording her own music with prospects of having an LP released by the year-end of 2009 and continues to showcase her songs throughout the GTA. Michelle is passionate about her work both in front and out of the spotlight. Whether performing her own material or helping to produce another artist, she is definitely looking at a bright future in Canada's already growing urban music scene.
