Ingrid Michaelson

Born in New York City, Ingrid Michaelson was surrounded by artistry from an early age. Raised by her mother, a sculptor, and her father, a classical composer, Ingrid’s musical talents were nurtured from the start. At just four years old, she began taking piano lessons, but it wasn’t until later in life—after graduating from college with a degree in musical theatre—that she began writing her own songs. Her deep, introspective lyrics and distinctive voice quickly resonated with audiences, earning her a devoted following.

Ingrid’s music explores universal themes such as self-doubt, love, and betrayal, all while maintaining an indie spirit that has made her a standout artist in the industry. Her music is released through her own label, Cabin 24 Records, which has sold over one million albums and 10 million singles to date. Some of her most notable hits include the Platinum singles “Girls Chase Boys” and “The Way I Am,” both of which helped solidify her place in mainstream music.

In recent years, Ingrid has ventured into both stage and screen. She made her Broadway debut as Sonya in *Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812* and appeared on the big screen in the feature film *Humor Me*. In 2019, it was announced that she would write the music and lyrics for the Broadway adaptation of the best-selling novel *The Notebook*, further expanding her artistic reach.

Despite her success in theatre and film, Ingrid continues to release her own music. Her latest project, *Stranger Songs*, was hailed by The Sunday Times as “music of stark beauty,” reflecting her ongoing evolution as an artist and storyteller.
