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!
