Staten Island's Ingrid Michaelson, born December 8, 1979, plays piano and guitar and writes songs that feel like notes passed across a classroom: sweet, quirky and a lot sharper than they first let on. She has put out eight albums independently and still landed hits that the big labels would kill for.
Girls and Boys, in 2006, gave her "The Way I Am", a tiny, lighthearted love song of a single, all bounce and plainspoken devotion, which caught on with Adult Contemporary and Adult Top 40 radio and went platinum. "Be Ok", from the same album, keeps the pep-talk spirit bouncing along. By Human Again, in 2012, the sound had grown bigger and moodier, and "Ghost" is a dramatic, slow-building ache. Her 2014 single "Girls Chase Boys" went platinum too, and found the same success on those adult pop charts.
