Full Chrisette Michele Biography
Chrisette Michele Payne (born December 23, 1982), known professionally as Chrisette Michele, is a Grammy-nominated American R&B singer on the Def Jam Recordings record label .
Chrisette Michele was born in Central Islip, New York to parents who worked as deacons to their church. This connection inspired her to reflect on childhood memories in her own forthcoming Def Jam debut album. She sings in a jazz style reminiscent of past singers such as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.
She is of Native American and southern African American, descent. The daughter of a deacon, she led gospel choirs in high school and college, and refuses to make music that is at odds with her strong Christian moral code.
She has been featured on many popular hip hop albums. On Jay-Z's Kingdom Come she was featured in the second official single "Lost One". On Nas' Hip Hop Is Dead, she was featured three times: in its second official single "Can't Forget About You", in Kanye West-produced "Still Dreaming" and the final track "Hope". |
