Bio

Michelle Coltrane is a vocalist, composer, and Executive Board Member of the John & Alice Coltrane Home in Dix Hills, New York. Born in Paris, her immersion in music began at an early age with violin, viola, and clarinet lessons, as well as singing in the ashram led by her mother. Michelle began to travel around the world in her mid-20s, DJing in Japan and writing “Color the Night” for the country’s Space World Amusement Park. While in Tokyo, she explored her talents as a voice actress and arranged and performed background vocals in studios around town. She toured as a background vocalist for some of the industry’s most renowned acts and would perform frequently with her own band. In 1997 Michelle released her debut album I Think of You in collaboration with Scott Hiltzik and saxophonist Ronnie Laws, which received a YES Award and was acclaimed by Jazz Times. In 2017, she released her sophomore album Awakening, which was in the top 10 on the National Jazz Charts in 2017 and garnered critical acclaim. The 11-song album on Blujazz Productions features collaborations with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Gerry Gibbs, and Ravi Coltrane, and was co-produced by Shea Welsh. Presently, Michelle is Chief Creative Officer at John & Alice Coltrane Home (deemed a Historical Landmark by the National Trust for Historic Preservation), the former residence of Michelle, her brothers, and her late parents. Michelle’s goal is to continue performing and recording music while supporting programs that elevate creative arts. In all that she does, she continues to share the Coltrane family message of universal consciousness.
