About Michelle David & The True-tones:
Raised in New York and singing in church from the age of four, Michelle David’s voice was forged in gospel. By five she was performing with The Mission of Love, and her career has since taken her across the globe with Broadway productions (Mama, The Sound of Motown, Glory of Gospel, Mahalia) and studio sessions for legends like Diana Ross and Michael Bolton.
Since joining forces with The True-tones, David has released seven acclaimed albums, blending gospel spirit with raw soul power. Together, they’ve built a reputation as a must-see live act — lighting up major festivals such as Pinkpop and North Sea Jazz, touring extensively across Europe, and even performing at the Winter Olympics 2022. Their recordings have earned wide recognition, from an Edison Award nomination (Dutch Grammy) to BBC Radio 6’s Album of the Year and FIP Radio’s Album of the Month. Their 2024 LP Brothers & Sisters, released on Record Kicks, cemented their status as a leading force in the international retro-soul movement.
With “Speak To Me”, “Running” and the upcoming Soul Woman, Michelle David & The True-tones deliver their most powerful statement yet: timeless soul for today, made to move both the body and the spirit.
