Chrisette Michele doesn't like to be pigeonholed, but before she snagged her deal with Def Jam, the singer, songwriter, and composer toured with established neo-soul stars like India.Arie and Kem. It's this church girl's jazzy stylings that gave the hooks of Jay-Z's 'Lost Ones' and Nas' 'Can't Forget About You' mature panache. Signed by L.A. Reid himself, Michele's much anticipated debut, 'I Am,' drops June 19.
