Mishelle is a Vancouver based composer whose work is centred around the integration of sound, music, and storytelling. Since 2011 she has worked in the live performance sector with projects ranging from new music to theatre to audio installation.
Mishelle’s early music training was based in classical piano, and she later pursued education in theatrical composition and sound design through an MFA in Musical Theatre Composition at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Some significant compositional works include Made in Canada, a song cycle written using all verbatim text gathered from and about migrant farm workers in BC; Sounding the Sophia, a chamber work commissioned by Little Chamber Music; Here Here: songs we sing for home – a song anthology featuring text commissioned from 8 writers; and the in-development musical project Believing Dr. Bell.

She has composed theatrical scores for professional theatre across Canada, with companies such as the Stratford Festival, Tarragon Theatre, Arts Club Theatre, Bard on the Beach, Citadel Theatre, Neworld Theatre, and more. She won the Jessie Richardson award for Outstanding Composition for her first musical, Stationary: a recession-era musical.

In May, 2025, Mishelle will be traveling to Melbourne, Australia where her sound design for Lisa C. Ravensbergen’s The Seventh Fire will have its international premiere at the Yirramboi festival.
