Demi Michelle- Exclusive Interview - a podcast by Hands of Grace-Rae of Light

Join station host Eddie Davis (Captain Eddie) in his exclusive chat with singer-songwriter, podcaster, author Demi Michelle, right here in our Heart of Indie studio!

Heartfelt, charismatic, and unique are three words used by reviewers to describe Demi Michelle’s music. She turns her life experiences into songs that touch the hearts of her listeners through captivating storytelling in her lyrics. Her creativity and love for both pop and country music drive her passion for writing meaningful songs with melodies that wrap each song’s message in the warmest hug. She greatly looks up to Julia Michaels, Kelsea Ballerini, and Taylor Swift, three incredible songwriters who share their stories in raw and truthful ways. Demi strives to remain honest and authentic as a songwriter in her own music and during her collaborations with other songwriters and artists.

Demi pieced together her songwriting passion over the years. She began piano lessons in fifth grade, took voice lessons in high school, and learned guitar while in college. Also being a creative writer and in graduate school for her MFA in Writing Popular Fiction, Demi is always finding ways to blend her musical talent and storytelling in powerful ways.

In the fall of 2019, Demi began recording at the Vault Recording Studio in Pittsburgh, where she works closely with her producer to bring her songs to life in the way she envisions them. She started her songwriting journey with two pop ballads, “Into Focus,” and her original Christmas song, “All I Want This Christmas.” “All I Want This Christmas” was played during part two of Voice of A Woman’s Christmas Special on Claremorris Community Radio in Ireland.

Demi is ready to show the world her ability to write in more than one genre. Her third single and first country-pop song, “LA Will Wait for Me,” released on March 12. The song has received airplay during radio shows, including Country Belles on Belter Radio, Voice of A Woman on Claremorris Community Radio, the Collective Music Showcase flagship show for independent artists on ARC Radio, Unsigned on the Beach Radio, New Country Sunday Night on MJM Strategies Radio, Simply Country on Ridge Radio, SW20 Country Music Show on SW20 Radio, Country Chat with Dom on UK Country Radio, and Steve Garnett’s New Music Radio Show and Indie Afternoon on Revival Radio. “LA Will Wait for Me” entered Revival Radio’s New Music Top 40 chart at number 5 and peaked at number 4. During the week of April 17, Demi was made an artist of the week on Radio New Wheels, a radio station based in the Netherlands. Also, on March 28, Demi performed during the SW20 Country Birthday Bash. This virtual country music festival benefitted Help Musicians, a UK charity supporting professional musicians of all genres and career levels. During Demi’s forty-minute set, she performed “LA Will Wait for Me,” along with more country originals and covers.
