Michele Gonzalez
recorded her first song at the age of 5 while
sitting around with her sisters in front of a
Fisher Price tape recorder. Her music career has
blossomed ever since with performances in plays
such as “Guys and Dolls”, “The
Sound of Music,” “The Wiz,”
competing in Miss Merced in 1993, and singing
in bands such as SVQ, Elixir 9, and today with
Lipshok.
Michelle attributes her love of music to her mother
who played piano to her from before birth and
who would accompany her at home concerts with
music by Roberta Flack, Carol King, and other
various musical scores. She claims that music
is in her blood and that without it her soul would
surely die. It really is that important to her.
When not performing, which isn’t very often
since Michelle sings all hours of the day as her
co-workers can attest to, she works in the Client
Services Department for a real estate investment
company. Michelle’s hobbies include wakeboarding,
spending time with friends, and learning just
about anything she can about traveling. Michelle
hopes to visit her family in the Basque Country
of Europe one day and becoming a world traveler.
