London-born singer-songwriter Mychelle is making waves with her highly anticipated debut album, Good Day, released through the esteemed FAMM label, home to artists like Maverick Sabre and Jorja Smith. This collection is not just music; it’s a profound sonic revolution, marking Mychelle’s heartfelt farewell to the shadows that once lingered in her life. “It’s my way of saying goodbye to the chapters in my life that created bad days,” she reflects, capturing the essence of her journey.
Every time she stepped out of the studio with a new track, Mychelle felt the metamorphosis of her past into something brighter. This release crowns an extraordinary year for the artist, who has garnered acclaim for hit singles such as “Sweet Nothings,” “You Don’t Care About Me,” and “Seasons.” As if that weren’t enough, this summer she’ll join Jorja Smith on her UK tour and grace major festivals, including Across The Tracks and Mad Cool Festival in Madrid, solidifying her spot as our Sound of the Week.
In September, Mychelle is set to embark on her headline tour across Europe and the UK, aptly named after her album. The 10-date tour will allow fans to embrace the soulful spirit of Good Day in intimate live settings across France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. This album represents a significant turning point for Mychelle, as she emerges with graceful confidence and insight, delivering a curated blend of personal exploration and artistic vision.
Tracks like “A Little Bit More” resonate with self-realisation, while “Close Enough” dives into the struggles of writer’s block. The title track, “Good Day,” transforms a moment of despair into pure upliftment, a theme woven throughout the album. Mychelle collaborates with talented producers, including Dom Valentino, Tom Henry, and Fred Cox, ensuring the album encapsulates vulnerability and resilience through a powerful narrative arc.
Growing up just a stone’s throw from Clissold Park in Stoke Newington, Mychelle was born into a musical family, the middle child in a trio of sisters drawn to performance. She picked up a guitar at age 10, laying it down only to rediscover it at 17, bolstered by the encouragement of school mentors. Mychelle’s early years saw her forming a girl group alongside a close friend, igniting her musical ambition, albeit hindered by shyness—a hurdle she dared to confront by busking. Her raw, soulful performances became a fixture on London’s streets for over four years, turning the city into both her training ground and stage.

Now, as she steps boldly into this new chapter, Mychelle maintains a connection to all aspects of her life—from sports to the stage—remaining a fierce competitor in both music and life.
