Michelle has captivated a global audience through multiple mediums. With an already impressive resume, she is not only an accomplished singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist, with five Billboard charting albums to her name, but also an entrepreneur, author, executive, actress, television personality, and restaurateur.
“When we first met K. Michelle, she radiated her passion for country music. It’s the fabric of who she is because the lyrics represent truth. She’s built an incredible fanbase with her unique vocals anchored with storytelling at its heart, and that is what transcends genres,” says Katie Kerkhover, VP, of A&R at BMG.
“I have been ready. I am grateful for this moment,” shares K. Michelle. “Rebels and Real Outlawz, it’s time! I am excited and want to thank my BMG Team. I am happy to finally sing the music I grew up on. I am a country girl at heart and can’t wait to share my country music with you.”
Praised as “real,” “brave,” and “rebellious,” K. Michelle’s 2013 album Rebellious Soul has served as a cathartic musical refuge for her fans. Her indomitable spirit and innate talent have captivated audiences throughout her multifarious career. Her classic candor provides a safe space and trademark for listeners craving her relatable music.
To the delight of her over 10 million social media followers, the Memphis, Tennessee native announced that her sixth album, I’m The Problem, released last year, was her final R&B record. K. Michelle is now readying her dream of releasing a country project. The always-real songstress gave fans a taste of what to expect with the bonus track “Tennessee” and introduced her alter-ego PUDDIN, a nickname from her childhood. Raised in a household where Mary J. Blige and Whitney Houston were played alongside country icons The Judds and Lee Ann Womack, K. Michelle showcased her roots by earning a music scholarship to Florida A&M University through yodeling.
In a full-circle moment, K. Michelle was featured on the acclaimed A Tribute To The Judds in 2023, singing “Love Can Build A Bridge” alongside Jelly Roll and Fisk Jubilee Singers, and performing the song live at “The 57th Annual CMA Awards” on ABC.
