5 +$D~?sk Chrisette Michele Payne (born c. 1982), known professionally as Chrisette Michele, is an American R&B singer on the Def Jam Recordings record label. She has been featured on such popular hip hop albums as Jay-Z's Kingdom Come in the second official single "Lost One" and three times in Nas' Hip Hop Is Dead, in its second official single "Can't Forget About You", in Kanye West-produced "Still Dreaming" and the final track "Hope". Her single "Your Joy" was recentlly released on iTunes as a free single of the week. Nas and Michele's mothers were raised in the same Queensbridge housing projects, a connection which inspired her to reflect on childhood memories in her own forthcoming Def Jam debut album. She sings in a jazz style reminiscent of past singers such as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. The daughter of a deacon, she led gospel choirs in high school and college, and refuses to make music that is at odds with her strong Christian moral code.
?OdJ t Z$ 6yB I Am, her soulful debut album, is an artistic exploration that fuses 24-year old Chrisette Michele's diverse musical interests into a wonderland. "I realize that I'm new to the music world, but I've been preparing for this moment for long time," says the Long Island native. Even before signing a recording contract, Michele had performed on concert bills with more established artists like Kem, India.Arie, Angie Stone, and Lionel Richie. "India saw me singing at the Village Underground in New York City. She came backstage that first night and graciously offered me a gig as her opening act," says Michele. Working hard in the studio writing songs and recording demos, Michele finished an album's worth of material before even trying to get signed. "I've been creating songs since I was 12, so I knew I needed the right musical blend in order to stand out from the many other performers trying to get a deal." Though already a fan of gospel and classical, it wasn't until Michele was 17 that she also developed a passion for jazz. "When I was still in high school a teacher introduced me to jazz singer Astrud Gilberto, and afterwards my life was all about jazz," she remembers. With the release of I Am, Chrisette Michele will soon be sharing those musical dreams with the rest of the world.
