The first artist to make it into our series of featured artists is Ingrid Michaelson. Her music has appeared in many TV shows including; Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty and Scrubs. Following in the eclectic footsteps of her mother, a sculptor and her father, a classical composer, Ingrid began piano lessons at only four years old. Her songwriting career began after college while touring the country in a national theater troupe and spending all her free time composing the songs that would eventually make it onto her first CD, Girls and Boys.
New York-based Michaelson’s parents were both artists (composer Carl Michaelson and sculptor Elizabeth Egbert Director). She took up piano at the age of five, attending Manhattan’s Third Street Music School for two years, going on to the Jewish Community Center of Staten Island’s Dorothy Delson Kuhn Music Institute. There she met vocal coach Elizabeth McCullough, who worked with her through high school. She is a graduate of Staten Island Technical High School and Binghamton University, where she received a degree in theatre.
Her influences range from Fiona Apple to Coldplay. She regularly appears at Manhattan venues such as The Knitting Factory, CBGB’s Gallery, Bar 169, The Sidewalk Cafe, Kenny’s Castaways, and Pianos. Her music has also recently enjoyed a bit more ‘commercial’ success with songs like “Breakable” and “Keep Breathing” being featured on ABC show Grey’s Anatomy, as well as a 2007 Old Navy commercial being set to her song “The Way I Am”. In September 2008 she supported Jason Mraz during his European tour.
