Upcoming artist VANDA aka Michelle Alyce Vanda began her musical career at age 3, performing in various theater productions in and around her hometown of Chicago, IL. In between her musical theater rehearsals, Vanda began writing her own original music, exploring her sound by spending many hours in her father’s recording studio, which ultimately led to her passion and pursuit of pop music. In 2015, Vanda moved to Los Angeles and released her first official single, ‘Young For Life’ to positive reviews. Shortly after the release of her first single, Vanda recognized the disconnect between the ideas/soundscape in her head and her ability to articulate them, leading to her enrollment at The Musician Institute in Hollywood, CA, where she would learn the tools to produce her own music and make connections that would set her on her trajectory today. In 2018, Vanda performed and co-wrote ‘Right Reasons’, a track on Lucidious’ ‘Enough’ album, which garnered over 1 million streams worldwide and ultimately connected Vanda to her current collaborator Joel Woods, who she now co-produces and co-writes with on many of her projects. Vanda released her single ‘Wish You Well’ feat. Lucidious, in 2019, followed by her breakout single, ‘Psycho’ in the same year, caught the attention of Canadian based label, Skio Music. In collaboration with Skio ‘Psycho’ garnered over 480 remixes from international producers worldwide, and continues to gain traction as Vanda builds a name for herself in the music industry.
