"First time I met this young lady she was standing outside The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville with her guitar talking to Holly and I. She was sweet, timid, and so nice. What she didn't mention was that she was on the lineup to play for us that night and let me tell you, She Rocked The House!! I was so amazed that this voice and soul could come out of someone who appeared a bit bashful and innocent. ["If He's Worthy"]...is one of the song she played that night and I'll never forget my goosebumps just watching her. I was in the right place at the right time. I love her, her personality, her music! She's a Toronto native, (our neighbor to the North) who is following her dream in Music City! Take time to listen to some of her stuff and if you ever get the chance, see her play!

"When I was younger growing up in North London, I found a singer whose music spoke to me. When I was sad, she had a song, not just to make me feel better, but it made me feel safe. Nina Simone made such an impact on my life, even today, I still play her music to match my mood when I’m feeling low.
Last month while scrolling through Twitter, I clicked on a link to a song by Michelle Pereira and it immediately put me back into that safe place I felt while listening to Nina Simone. Having heard her new song today, it sent goosebumps down my arms. Listening to this lady sing with such passion and such will, what this young lady puts into her music, it will feel like she has touched your soul.
If you like to feel the music inside you, then this lady is defo for you. Her song “If He's Worthy” is a credit to this talented singer/songwriter from the USA.
I hope to hear a lot more of her in the future"
