A member of family singing group, 'The Escoffery’s', signed to Atlantic Records USA in 1991, Michelle cut her teeth in the studio with sister Sandra Escoffery, learning to write and arrange, which led to independent success with chart topping UK girl band Truce. Michelle went on to become one of only 2 female stock writers at EMI Music Publishing at the time, alongside Cathy Dennis.

Her drive to showcase and champion emerging songwriters and performers shone in 2002 when she founded and ran 'Kindred Spirit' for almost a decade – London’s launch pad for creativity, live band performances and one of the cities most revered live shows.
