Michelle Weeks has been performing professionally since the age of four. She has appeared in a number of stage productions as well as appearing on Broadway in ‘The Tap Dance Kid’ and in the cult classic film ‘Little Shop of Horrors.’ Her music is filled with inspiration and seeks to lift people’s spirits.
