Michele Purcell

Michele Purcell, keyboardist, singer and songwriter, is a graduate of Muhlenberg College where she majored in communications and minored in music. Before becoming a mom, she worked in the music industry for a large record company. She also has performed solo and in bands for many years. Michele has two young boys on the autistic spectrum and she and her husband often use music to motivate them to perform their everyday activities. She thought that if music motivated her sons, it would do so for other children as well. She met Barbara after placing an ad for a lyricist on the internet, and they formed a partnership and a friendship.
