My relationship with Michelle has spanned over 20+ years. Her experience and knowledge led to necessary changes both personally and professionally during one of the most pivotal times in my life. This TRANSFORMATION is what began the wave of success for my first #1 Album in 26 years; Tuskegee. I truly don't know what I would've done without her. I can say this, if "Whitney" had a Michelle in her life, she might be alive today.

Michelle is Mary Poppins! She has a gentle and admirable disposition, kind and nurturing, but at the same time still maintains a fairly stern no-nonsense presence. She is direct in her truth and quickly takes charge in an effective and systematic way. She wants nothing but the best for you. She is fearless when it comes to the necessary changes both personally and professionally. There is no resistance in her whatsoever. Once she's accomplished what it is she has been called to do, she is like wind, and when the time is right, she moves on so that you can walk into your own FREEDOM and power.

I would highly recommend Michelle if you need to evaluate, build and execute a plan when taking the next steps of CHANGE in your career. She sees things on a multi-dimensional level and carries a vast amount of knowledge in all areas of the music and sports industries.

Michelle Tafoya is one of the greatest visionaries with whom I have ever worked in thirty years. She sees the big picture and knows what her clients are capable of, which is usually beyond where they can dream themselves. But what separates her from so many others is that she knows how to get them there and works with their other career team members to have everyone work together to ACHIEVE the goals. Obviously, one of her proudest accomplishments is helping propel Lionel Richie into another career level. But she did this while maintaining the integrity of his iconic career and introducing him to a new generation of fans. She is spiritual and insightful and sees things that others miss. She has the emotional intelligence that allows her to deal with different types of personalities. She is never about taking credit; she is always about the work and putting her clients first. She is a joy to work with and my career is better for having shared the road with her for a little while.

Not only have I witnessed Michelle pour into her clients intentionally and successfully, but I have been inspired by how much she truly BELIEVES in them and what she has been called to do. She gives her all, draws the best out of you and is unapologetic about her desire to see you succeed.

As artists, sometimes we forget our job is to SERVE our gifts--we get lost in this realm of wanting to be chosen, picked, and booked. It's exhausting, and it literally sucks the life out of you. Michelle helps me to get back to the reason I am an artist, a much bigger purpose than any audition or meeting. She beckons me to reunite with my inner artist child and create from a place of joy and limitless potential. She requires me to be Queen Creator I was born to be--not waiting for a "yes," but creating them.
