Emeline Michel is Haiti’s Queen of Creole Song: a captivating performer, vocalist, bandleader, 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 and South America for over 20 years have catapulted her to international acclaim.
Emeline Michel is beloved by Haitians for combining traditional rhythms with pop, rock, blues and jazz influences along with social and inspirational content. She is a member of a unique generation of Haitian musicians that emerged in the late 1980s who emphasized complex themes, conscious lyrics, and a broad palette of musical styles including the native Haitian compas, twoubadou, and rara.
Emeline has showcased her talents and the music of Haiti on National Public Radio, CBC Radio, Canadian television, and 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, Montréal International Jazz Festival, Celebrate Brooklyn, Central Park 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.
