R&B singer Chrisette Michele was raised in the church and began to wield her soulful, jazz-influenced talents at small gigs on Long Island and in New York City. In no time at all, Michelle was discovered by representatives from the Def Jam label, who put her on records with Jay-Z, Nas, and others. During this same time, Michelle scored slots opening for India Arie, Kem, and Angie Stone. Michelle's own music, which combines hip-hop, gospel, jazz, and adult alternative flavors, was finally unleashed in 2007 on her full-length Def Jam debut, I AM. With a knack for delivering a pop hook, Michele would become a regular force on pop radio.

Title NoteDef Jam unveiled a stunning new talent in 2007 with I AM, the debut album from Chrisette Michelle. Though raised on gospel, Michelle's biggest influences are clearly old-school jazz divas in the vein of Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan, as their textured, bluesy phrasing can be heard informing her own delivery. Yet Michelle is decidedly contemporary, threading elements of contemporary R&B, hip-hop, pop, and adult-alternative into her unique brand of neo-soul. Help from artists like Babyface, John Legend, and will.i.am heighten the profile of an already mightily impressive debut.
