A bit about her: Michelle was born and raised in Glendale, California, USA. She was the youngest of three children (her older sister Charlene was 6 years older, and her older brother Nathan was 3 years older). Michelle's family was musical; her father was a guitarist and vocalist, and her mother was a jazz pianist. Her siblings also had taken up music. Naturally, Michelle did the same. She began singing when she was just 2, and started taking vocal lessons at age 6. After so many years of devoting herself to music, it felt obvious she would get famous somehow, right? It actually took a long time. She could not get a following on YouTube or SoundCloud, but then was told by friends in December 2018 to make a TikTok on a dare. She did a few and began building a following. Her big breakthrough was in December 2019. After an above average following up to that point, she attempted the Burlesque riff challenge and did it perfectly, going viral. She moved to LA in February 2020, and has been a top TikTok singer ever since.
Michelle and Joseph Sim had actually known each other for years through family. They had become good friends, and Joseph had given Michelle much advice on handling social media fame. They began dating shortly after she moved to LA, having liked each other for a while.
