Quotes by Chrisette Michele
If you want to put out a song that you wrote yesterday, tomorrow go on Twitter, type in a new URL, and give it to the people!
My shaven head is my way of saying 'I wont take no for an answer,' it is my way of saying 'I believe in my creativity and artistry.'
I think everything that happens in life we’re prepared for in ways we really don’t really know.
The truth is an artist like me who doesn’t get the type of promotion that we see more commercial artists receive, and especially in this climate of the music business, you have to be creative about how you promote yourself.
I have epiphanies all the time, because I’m always thinking. I’m a thinker. I’m always writing poetry, I’m always coming to conclusions.
My ears sort of turn off when someone tells me that what my heart is saying isn’t a good idea.
It doesn’t take a year to sing a song. Takes a year for people to figure out how to market it.
Lately though I’ve been in love with myself and I’ve become my own best friend.
