Emeline Michel

She is Haiti’s Queen of Creole Song: a captivating performer, vocalist, band leader, producer, and one of the premier Haitian songwriters of her generation. Emeline Michel’s 10 albums and appearances on concert stages throughout the Caribbean, Europe, and North & South America have catapulted her to international acclaim. Michel is beloved by Haitians for combining traditional rhythms with Pop, Rock, Blues, and Jazz influences along with social and inspirational content.

Michel has appeared on NPR, CBC Radio, Canadian television, and at top venues and festivals such as Reggae on the River, Mountain Stage, the Getty Center, Stern Grove, Montréal Jazz Festival, Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center, Carnegie Hall, The United Nations, Harbourfront Centre, Ontario’s Luminato Festival, Celebrate Brooklyn, Summerstage, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Tasmania’s Ten Days On The Island, Zimbabwe’s Harare International Arts Festival, globalFEST at Lincoln Center Out of Doors, SOBs, Joe’s Pub, Chelsea Stages, MTV’s Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief fundraiser, Fuji Rock Festival, Seychelles Island Creole Festival, and the Teatro del Silencio, where she performed with Andrea Bocelli and the Choir Voices of Haiti in Italy.
