Jocelyn Michelle
Jocelyn Michelle was born in Florida but raised in New Jersey. Her parents were both musical -- her
mother was a semi-professional pianist and opera singer, and her father played trumpet. Michelle began
piano lessons when she was just 7 years old when her parents discovered that she could already play
melodies by ear. She eventually gravitated to guitar and played rock in her teens. She went to the
University of Miami School of Music as a Music Merchandising Major for a while, and returned to playing
keyboards when she left school.
She had been playing on the club circuit in the Miami area when she met her husband, John Rack, who was writing his own original music. Michelle joined him as a keyboard player, and the two went on to become musical and life partners. They eventually released three CDs. They moved to Los Angeles where they lived for many years, performing with different iterations of their blues band. In 2005, they took a trip to Hawaii and fell in love with the place. They made Hawaii their permanent home in 2013 and have been playing jazz and blues on the Big Island as well as making occasional trips to the mainland to perform. |
