Michele Riganese

Michele’s roots started at 4 yrs old at a dance school which led to many theatre productions both big and small carrying her to Broadway and various Off-Broadway productions as well as tv, commercials and films.

She began songwriting during middle school; writing on her Yamaha keyboard that she still uses to compose believe it or not. Her earliest influences came from listening to artists like The Everly Brothers and Linda Ronstadt to 50's swing, John Denver, and anything that was laid heavy with harmony. Now her influences are rooted in americana, folk, pop and dance music.

She’s been charming audiences with her bigger-than-her-size, clear-as-a-bell voice. That coupled with her sometimes heart-tugging sometimes uplifting and always melodic songs she has been traveling the US and Europe with her music. When she opens her mouth to sing, the room goes quiet and people take in every word & note.
