Spotlight Artist Interview: Michelle Shaprow

Spotlight Artist: Michelle Shaprow Shows Us Purple Skies

When I first met Michelle Shaprow, she was just like that indescribable feeling we experience in life….that moment when you meet someone and with the very first words you know this person is neither for a season nor the quickness of a moment.

Her music is simply incredible. My staff and I listened to a few of the tracks she sent to us, before the Purple Skies album was even released. Her voice is so relaxing. It causes all who listen to want to let go of that endless workload and those never ending to-do list’s and, for that moment, just sit back and realize how great life truly is. Her music conjures thoughts and images of love, life, and the happiness of just being…..the excitement of breathing and the disappointment of exhaling.

Her music definitely is felt as well as it’s heard.

Looking out of my window, I searched for anything that would help to relax me and bring me some peace. From my office on the sixth floor, I watched two children playing in the rain. They were laughing as though they had just been granted the wish of their lives. Most of the time, when I have looked at the world beyond my window, it has appeared to stand still. What is usually harder to see is the yelling, the cursing, the get-out-of-my-way-you-morons frenzy out there.

Spotlight Artist Interview: Talia Coles A Purpose Driven Woman

This was one of my favorite places to eat: “Café Boulud“, in New York’s Upper East Side, the rain outside the window next to my table created the perfect backdrop for this afternoon’s interview. I was in the early throes of a cold, but not even a simple cold would keep me from interviewing a woman whose music I have come to enjoy and admire.

Who is she; what, where? One of my friends kept asking me about her, my answer being very simple, let Google be your friend; her music is nothing short of phenomenal.
