"...A life dedicated to helping others" says Mikaelle Cartright
Born to Haitian ministers, Mikaelle was introduced to music very early on. Besides music at church, there was constant exposure to Classical music, Jazz, and Instrumental versions of Popular music in the home. Throughout the years, Mikaelle naturally pursued music, singing in every church and school choir available. She picked up the guitar at 16, and began writing music at 18. After earning a degree in International Affairs from Florida State University, she returned home to Haiti to build, what she hoped would be, a life dedicated to helping others. But soon, she began singing background vocals and performing as a side gig. Music was in her heart and soul; she could not escape it.
After surviving the 2010 Earthquake that shook Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, Mikaelle received her spiritual call to exit the regular work force and pursue a life of service using her God-given talents. She did this, and has since performed on almost every stage Port-au-Prince has to offer. She even spent two years hosting an entertainment show on Haiti's second largest television station. She believes that she is being groomed to become a leader and role model in Haitian society and around the world.
Although she is well-loved and respected in Haiti, Mikaelle moved to the US in 2014 to further pursue her Life Purpose and has been in the Tri-State area preparing herself for what lies ahead. An album is currently in the works and plans are being laid for a major European Tour.
