I am influenced by all great artists old and new but I have to say that my biggest influence has to be Angela Bofill since "I Try" was the first song outside of school and sunday school that I learned how to sing.

All New Acapellas Vol 3. (12") Rise Not On Label
The shadowed city of Baltimore has produced so many talented artists who remain hidden from the world of entertainment. Of the like, Michelle Shellers was born in this small town on the 28th of October just over a quarter of a century ago. Although she stands amongst many talented visionaries, she reigns as a gleaming comet in the face of competition due to her vocal abilities. Shellers acquired her songstress label very early in life, being sought after to add vocal flair to her church choir as well as middle and high school events and assemblies. It was during these years that her mind was set on achieving her prize, a breakthrough in the music industry.
After high school, Shellers studied voice at the historical Howard University. With the feeling of preparedness after college year one, Shellers decided to shoot higher and try out for the world renowned, Morgan State University Choir. Not only placing her close to home, but by studying under Nathan Carter she felt that achieving such an accomplishment would afford her the hands on vocal coaching and discipline she needed. It was during her time spent with the Choir that Shellers built the confidence and determination that lead her to a later path of stardom.
During her last year with the Choir, the opportunity of a lifetime sought and found Shellers in her prime. This hungry new kid recorded her first single, Rise with the production team the Soul Providers. Rise along with several other hip house harmonies was released with Soul Providers and surprising, only to this fresh faced kid, the single shot up the dance charts here and abroad. The news of this accolade converted the Baltimore-born-baby, Michelle Shellers, to the sassy, Shellers Superstar!
Very soon after its release, Rise opened the opportunity for Shellers to perform here in the U.S as well as other countries like Amsterdam and Canada. This self-assured artist has blown the microphone on stage in front of numbers surpassing ten thousand, in confined crowds for live television broadcasts, as well as hundreds for the heated crowds in Baltimores own Gay pride festivals and block parties. Shellers hit the ground running with this house track and has never glimpsed over a shoulder since its release. Her performances have seemed only to build since the singles release year of 2000 and she, ironically, rocks each party like its 1999!
Shellers powerful voice with alto soprano range is what landed her mark on the Dance/House music charts, but her vocal abilities fluctuate between a myriad of genres ranging from Opera to Jazz. With countless abilities, Shellers will continue to make a strong impression on the music industry without isolation to one singing style. She is sure to remain what the elements describe as a shining star'.
