**MICHAELYN OBY**

Michaelyn Oby is a sultry princess with a voice reminiscent of those legends of old. She exemplifies the elegance and eloquence of a golden era, while bridging the new soul movement of her fellow contemporaries, with a transcending grace rarely found within those artists of today.

A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she was born to accomplished musicians Michael and Joyce Oby. Relocated to Memphis, Michaelyn began singing at an early age gaining the title as “the little girl with the big voice.” She graced the Memphis Jazz scene as house vocalist for The Sax on Sunday Jazz Jam, where she was featured on WUMR’s 91.7 Jazz Hot Spot. Immediately after, Michaelyn was singing every week on the historic Beale Street at The King’s Palace Café, the only jazz dinner club on the strip.

In 2019, Michaelyn relocated to Chicago, IL, and is proud to call this great city her new home. For several years she performed while cruising up and down The Mississippi River and its tributaries on the American Queen Steamboat as one of its featured/Guest Entertainers. She is especially excited to add her extensive musical repertoire two solo shows “Feeling Good” and "Lady Sings Ms.Ross: A Tribute to Diana Ross" where she pays homage to those influential artists and genres she has grown to love.
