Michaela Nasello is an indie artist from California. She made her first Spotify appearance with her inaugural album, Hello Unexpected (2014). Fan faves from the collection include "The Thought of You" and "Things Are Gonna Change." She has since been evolving as a songwriter, maintaining the acoustic folk and subtle Americana vibes of her debut while diversifying and pushing her own limits lyrically, melodically, and conceptually. Her single, "Time" (2023), reflects on the idea of returning to the pursuit of one's dreams and mirrors her own musical comeback. Driven by meditation, mystery, memoir, and moods, her work is often compared to that of Sara Bareilles and Taylor Swift. Originally from Northern California, Michaela is currently making music in the San Diego area, where she teaches English part-time and visits the beach as often as she can.
