Inspired by cultural icons like David Bowie, Prince, and Madonna, she works to blend art, fashion, and visual design with her music. A unique combination of 80s nostalgia and space odyssey psychedelia, MishCatt’s experiential world and unique sound are unforgettable and unlike any other.

Growing up in Province San Jose, she was deeply immersed into a creative environment via her father (acclaimed jazz pianist) and mother (actress/singer). At the age of 14, she
developed a great appreciation for jazz and bossa nova music; deriving inspiration from the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Joao Gilberto etc.

Michelle spent most of her formative years in her dad's studio composing music, singing and expressing art in cinematography, photography and dancing. She currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.
