About Michelle:
Once heard, some voices are never forgotten. You know them when you hear them: they seem to inscribe themselves directly upon your soul. Voices like that rarely belong to a single genre – they transcend limitations, and, sometimes, they defy description. Michelle Johnson has a voice like that, and for decades, she's been using it to shake, move, and inspire listeners. Her style – best described as Carole King meets Ella Fitzgerald - draws from jazz, pop, soft rock, musical theater, gritty blues, and soul.

A singer with skills like these is bound to be in demand – and, indeed, she's been a busy session singer and live performer since graduating from Yale University. She's recorded, performed, or shared stages with some of the biggest names in entertainment: Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Barbra Streisand to name a few. She's toured and sung with Gladys Knight, supported Sugarland at the AMC Awards, and served as vocal arranger and soloist on HBO's Comic Relief. Her talents have taken her to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, MTV’s 120 Minutes, The Arsenio Hall Show, and Soul Train. These credits testify to her astonishing vocal abilities, yes, but they're also hallmarks of her flexibility. Country music, pop shows, church services, arena rock acts : No matter what the event is, it's better when it's graced by Michelle Johnson's voice. Once a background singer, she's now stepping into the spotlight, so keep your eyes on her!

About the video:
"I'm All In" is more than just a soulful, jazz-inflected ballad. The track is a statement of purpose from an artist who is wholly committed to everything she does, and whose dedication is apparent in every bar she sings. Director Rob DePew captures that quiet intensity in his gorgeous video for "I'm All In," presenting the star as a stellar songwriter as well as an electrifying singer. The camera finds her (and her grand piano) in a breathtaking desert setting, on parched ground, and with tall mountains ringing the horizon. She looks every bit of what she is: a woman of achievement. But there's also the child she was – a little girl, alone and bewildered on the streets of a busy city, coming to a consciousness of the range of her powers. Through the magic of music, the two figures meet. It's inspiring for both of them, and for viewers, too.

LYRICS:
It was so easy when I was young
My fingers slipped over keys
and told stories of songs that were still unsung

I wrapped my heart in each word from you
You were the light in the tunnel
that led to the path I was headed to.

But time will make you forget all your "meant to be's"
Living your life by what the outside sees
And I've been gone for so long

So I'm letting you know
I'm letting you see
Just what's become
Of the woman you helped me to be

And I'm running my race
My face to the wind
Circling back to the place
Where you helped me begin
But this time, I'll all in.

I thought my heart and my soul were gone.
As though you left me alone with
No rhyme and no reason to carry on.

So I got lost in the maddening crowd.
And through the chaos around me
my heart was still longing
to sing out loud.

And all the scenes in my life they came back to me.
All stitched together like a tapestry.
And I've been gone for too long.

So I'm letting you know
I'm letting you see
Just what's become
Of the woman you helped me to be

And I'm running my race
My face to the wind
Circling back to the place
Where you helped me begin
And this time, I'll all in.

This time, I'm all in.
