All New Releases V.2

With her piano-fueled songwriting, witty wordplay, and slight vocal
vibrato, Ingrid Michaelson carries the tradition of the female
singer/songwriter into the 21st century. Befitting a musician of the
digital age, Michaelson first gained wide exposure through spots on TV
soundtracks, including Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill. Born and raised
on New York's Staten Island to an artist mother and classical composer
father, she began exploring music through piano lessons at the age of
four. After college, she toured with a national theater troupe and spent
her free time writing songs, later compiling them into an
online-distributed recording entitled Slow the Rain. Michaelson took the
independent route by issuing her proper debut, the engaging Girls and
Boys, on her own Cabin 24 Records in January 2007. Three months later,
she won a national songwriting contest sponsored by Mountain Stage, a
radio program produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting and
distributed worldwide. "The Way I Am" was then picked up by Old Navy,
who used it to soundtrack one of their clothing commercials, and
Michaelson began making headlines as one of the country's most promising
independent artists. A benefit project comprised of live recordings, new
songs, and rarities, Be OK was released in 2008. Michaelson joined the
Hotel Cafe Tour that fall in support of the album, whose proceeds went
toward cancer research.
