Which did you enjoy most singing the anthem at the Giants or the Dodgers game more and why?

oh man. honestly, this is a tough one. the dodgers game was so memorable because the audience was HUGE and i was called in specially to sing for filipino heritage night, but on the other hand, san francisco is my HOME. it felt so good after years of trying to get the chance to sing the national anthem for my home team. so i really can't pick because both were just amazing experiences for me.

You're from the Bay Area? That's awesome! Where would you live otherwise, though?

well, i LOVE living in the Bay. I know L.A. or N.Y. is probably where I will eventually move to once my music takes me there, but I would love to live in Japan again. Tokyo was thee most amazing place I had ever been to. I was so blessed to have the opportunity to live and start my music career out there and I can't wait to go back and visit!

If you could pick any 2 of the following movies to buy on DVD, what would they be? 500 Days of Summer, The Proposal, The Ugly Truth, and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past...I'm on an airplane for a medical mission to the Philippines for 15 hours!

omg. definitely get 500 days of summer! it's a great movie. and then, i'd go with the proposal because i think sandra bullock is an amazing actress. i'm sure you'll enjoy both.

good luck on your medical mission. props to you for doing something so selfless! god bless.

your a very good singer and was wondering, when ever you get frustrated, what is the one thing that inspires you to keep going and try your hardest?

thank you! when i get really frustrated, i do one of two things. i either watch a live performance of any of my favorite artists and find inspiration to know if i keep going, i can do the same thing they're doing. -OR- i go back and watch old videos of me singing. preferably footage of a live performance so i can hear the crowd's reaction. that is PERFECT drive to remember why you're working so hard in the first place!

Do you have any advice for an aspiring Filipino artist as myself?

my biggest advice is to really find out what it takes to be an ARTIST. it's not always as glamorous as it seems. it takes a lot of hard work, commitment and sometimes doing things when you don't feel like it. also, i know it can be tough for filipinos and filipinas to be taken seriously in the industry, but don't be discouraged. talent, determination and ethics will be recognized no matter what ethnicity you are. just hone your skills and practice, practice, practice to be GREAT at what you set out to do! pay your dues, make sure you grow with your talent and learn from anyone and everyone who has something to offer. you can always better yourself with others' advice. (even though you may not want to hear it at the time.) keep performing, get in a studio, see if all the hard work is worth the gratification of your audiences' response. if it is, then you're well on your way! live your dreams and good luck!

I went to OSM and was amazed! I'm a friend of Noelle Campos and when she and her friends told me who u were I quickly looked you up on Youtube and was blown away by your talent. I gotta ask, what was your inspiration for "Euphoria"? That song is amazing!

first of all thank you for coming to OSM and supporting the great cause we put on. we raised a lot of $, food and essentials that the victims of the typhoon ondoy needed!

as for my inspiration for "euphoria"- it actually came from true events. most of the lyrics came from things that happened to me and the feelings i got from that person. of course i took the lyrics to another level to capture the pure bliss of being with someone you love, but it definitely stemmed from TRUE EMOTIONS. thank you for the compliment!

p.s. tell noelle "hello" for me.

oh thanks for answering! so cool! but do u remember your fans and what not? haha thats kind of creepy but hopefully that question makes sense. LOL =]

Surely in this business you have your fans and haters. How do you deal with haters and negativity in a positive way?

haters are always going to be there. in a way it makes you want to prove them wrong which is good fuel to the fire. but if i know what they are hating on me is beyond my control, i simply ignore it. hate me or love me, fact is, you KNOW ME. and that's good enough for me cause one of these days i'll do something you absolutely love and may change your mind about me all together! it grounds you to know not everyone loves you or what you do and makes you appreciate the fans you DO have.

What inspired your singing career? (:

i've been singing since i could talk. i'm not sure the exact moment i knew i wanted to become an entertainer because it's all i've ever known. i've been doing it for so long, i don't really see myself doing anything else. but i do know what inspires me to keep going is the AUDIENCE/FANS. if i knew they weren't enjoying my what i do, i'd quit making it my career. there would be no point. but i've been blessed with faith and belief from all my followers in my talent and that inspires me every single day! <3

Who are your biggest influences musically? And do you need a drummer for any recording or touring time? ;)

my biggest influences in current music would have to be:
VOCALLY: mariah carey, brian mcknight, alicia keys, tamia and christina aguilera (just to name a few).
IN PERFORMANCE: beyonce, rihanna, lady gaga and shakira.

but i love listening to the oldies like the eagles, natalie cole, whitney houston and etta james to find inspiration in musicality. i listen to all types of music to pull my own style together. i definitely won't claim to love all genres, but i respect them.

and YES, i'm always looking for instrumentalists to play live for me in recordings or during performances. for serious inquiries, email me at mm@michelle-martinez.com. :)

hi michelle :)who/what inspires your great sense of style?

i've come into my own fashion by traveling a lot and picking up styles from all the places i've visited. don't be afraid to try new things. if it doesn't work for you, then it doesn't work. but you could be missing out on something that looks absolutely amazing on you if you don't try them out! here's my little secret: i search through Japanese fashion magazines. trust me, they have an AMAZING sense of style!
