Singing career

Mishelle has been singing since the age of 5. Her single, "Just So Able", was played in a regular rotation on MTV and MTV Overdrive, and also was voted the #1 hit single on VH1's Music Nation. In 2007, she became the lead vocalist for the band Defy Tomorrow and co-wrote the songs on their EP "One Through The Heart." After the band split up in 2008, Marissa Mishelle became a solo artist again and found music manager and developer Daniel Mirharooni, who soon got her signed to indie label SME Group. Marissa parted with SME later that year. On August 29, 2010 Marissa joined the band Minus Ned, an up-and-coming band out of Woodbridge, Connecticut, currently based in Los Angeles, California, that blends rock, blues, jazz and funk with an appealing collection of vocals and well-written lyrics. The band's single "III" was the first to feature Marissa on Lead Vocals. She is a featured vocalist on the band's album "Are We Finally Fitting In", released October 2011.
