Tenacious, self-taught artist Michelly Cordova makes stunning crossover jazz anthems laced with elements of blues, R&B, and soul. Raised in L.A. by a family with deep musical roots, her diverse talent was inspired by singers like Frank Sinatra, and Billie Holiday, and later influenced by acts like Pink Martini, and Madeleine Peyroux. Cordova’s unique vocal style infuses emotive intensity with effortless cool, earning comparisons to iconic powerhouse vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Cassandra Wilson, and subtly moody acts like Norah Jones. Michelly made a name for herself performing at local jazz jams, developing an expansive, R&B-leaning, soul-meets-blues repertoire. She’s the kind of singer who fully inhabits her music: “I try to live my life full of love and hope, and to share that with others through my performance,” In 2009, Michelly released her debut collection of uniquely arranged jazz standards called Midnight Lounge. Her 2014 sophomore album, Love, Dreams and Everything In Between, showcased a range of original tracks produced by GRAMMY-nominated producer Bob Tucker and renowned jazz pianist Jane Getz. In 2016, Cordova released single “Whisper in the Dark,” co-written and produced by Joseph Holiday (“Hair Love” songwriter for Oscar-winning Best Animation Short), and in 2018 dropped “Race for Love,” which quickly reached eighty-five thousand Spotify streams. In 2022, Michelly is set to release a new single produced by Holiday: the groovy R&B track “I’m in Love”.
