Search - Michelle Amador :: Higher

With an extensive background in jazz, singer/songwriter and composer Michelle Amador's serene voice has been featured on a number of albums throughout the years such as Yellowtail's Grand & Putnam, Phuturistix' Rainbow Soul, and Red Bull's Various Assets. It was at the Red Bull Music Academy in Rome, the annual music symposium now famous for bringing together top global talent, where she met UK nu jazz/dubstep producer Dave Jones, a.k.a. Zed Bias. As a result, the concept of the album Higher was born. While still at the academy, Michelle and Zed Bias created the track In & Out, which included fellow artists Graeme Blevins, DJ Eurok, and Om Mas Keith from Sa-Ra Creative Partners. From there, the recording continued in Bias Manchester studio with a host of incredible live musicians. One of the songs recorded, titled Because of You, and also on the album, became a smash hit and favorite among DJ's and top class tastemakers. It was then released as a single, which featured remixes by the world famous Osunlade & Atjazz. Higher is a strong follow-up to the huge single, and definitely shows that Michelle s lush vocals and insightful lyrics laced over Zed s production work are a perfect match.
