Michelle Willis

Michelle Willis is a Canadian singer, songwriter and keyboard player based in Edinborough, Scotland. As a kid growing up, singing and playing was a pathway to self expression. “In the 90s, the hits on the radio were largely by women like Shawn Colvin, Lauryn Hill, Amanda Marshall, Jann Arden, Whitney Houston and others.

Since moving to Edinburgh, Willis has cemented her place as an in-demand keyboard player and singer, touring and recording with a diverse array of artists such as David Crosby, Becca Stevens, Zac Brown Band, Iggy Pop, Laura Mvula and Michael McDonald. She is also an artist on GroungUP Music, a record label started by Snarky Puppy leader and founder Michael League, with whom she has regularly collaborated and toured with for over a decade.

“Sharp, hip, singer-songwriter of music. If it were 1973 all over again, Willis would be touring with Dylan and releasing acclaimed albums for a generation to call in love with.” – Pop Matters
