Michelle's Biography
There’s an exciting Gospel Artist whose powerful voice is causing people to take notice; her name is Michelle Gold. She is bound to create a loud and crazy buzz in the music industry - full of charisma, off-the-wall energy, and a passion that has captivated large, diverse audiences all over.
Michelle is a singer/songwriter who is a Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus in Hebrew). At age 15, Michelle was introduced to Yeshua as the Messiah. Though her family rejected her newfound faith, she was compelled to follow Him. Yet she was soon distracted by the cares of this world and began pursuing a career as a Pop singer, opening for such legendary singers as Gladys Knight and winning the coveted Lena Horne Scholarship.
However, at age 19, Michelle realized there was more to life than just singing love songs. She re-committed her life to Messiah and began writing her own brand of powerful, dynamic, spiritually-centered music. Michelle abandoned her life of emptiness and despair, and now sings a new song unto the LORD.
Michelle has opened up for Integrity Records Recording Artist and Worship Leader Paul Wilbur and has been a featured artist at conferences, events & churches through out the United States. Some of these include the United Nations, St Patrick’s Cathedral (ministering to the surviving families of firefighters who lost their lives in the World Trade Center Tragedy), the McDonald's GospelFest, NYC (2001 Finalist) & the annual GMA Spotlight Regional Competition 2001 where Michelle was awarded First Runner Up.
In November 2000, the Danish Israeli Mission sponsored Michelle to tour the country of Denmark, ministering in song at schools and churches in every major city which culminated in a TV Interview and which is still being aired in Copenhagen today. Michelle has also been interviewed on the nationally televised CBN TV Program, the 700 Club!
Most recently, Michelle had the privilege of touring the U.S., England, Germany, Switzerland, France & Israel for twenty months with the Jewish Gospel Music group, The Liberated Wailing Wall.
“Beyonce & Mariah meet Yeshua (Jesus) in Jerusalem” is the best way to describe Michelle’s fun, energy-filled music. Her songs are full of contagious praise & urgency. As a Jewish Believer in Yeshua, she often shares with an honest heart & in a very real way, what God has done in her life & how believing in Yeshua as her Messiah has made her more complete & given her the promise & hope of heaven!
Michelle says, “My vision is to awaken a contagious passion for God in the hearts of all people from every nation. Like Esther, I want to bring salvation to my people for such a time as this, by making Yeshua an unavoidable issue. People need to know that Jesus is real and that it’s all about having a love relationship with Him.”
Michelle and her husband, Joe Franco, were formerly Lay Ministers and Youth Ministers at Park Slope Christian Center, Brooklyn, NY. They moved to Nashville, TN in September 2002 and now attend Born Again Church, Elder Horace Hockett, Pastor.
