Michelle Romary is a Cleveland based singer, songwriter, lyricist, and recording artist. Since 2015, she has released and self published 3 solo EPs and 3 singles. The newest released EP is entitled, Grounded (2018), in her 4-part EP series. The latest single, “Love’s Direction,” was released on New Year’s Eve 2019 with a followup single, “Rose Garden,” coming soon as part of her 4th EP, “Embers.” Described by Danielle Immerman, formerly of Cleveland Scene Magazine, as having “…incredible songwriting ability and amazing vocals…” her most recent EP, Grounded, blends rock with elements of western, reggae, ska, punk, and pop. She pushes the boundaries of popular music by creating powerful imagery through her introspective lyrics, blending rock and classical vocal stylings, and disregarding traditional genre rules. All 3 EPs, Floating Shift, Torrent, & Grounded, were written by Michelle, and recorded and mixed by Michael Seifert, a multi-platinum award winning music producer, writer, arranger and recording engineer based in Cleveland, Ohio at Somewhere Recording.
“Influenced and inspired by strong, honest female singer-songwriters like Dolly Parton, Ani DiFranco, Linda Perry and Sara Bareilles, Romary’s music could be similarly characterized as beautifully honest and sincere.” – Danielle Immerman, Cleveland Scene Magazine, May 24, 2016
