Album Notes

Lockless Heart is Aryn Michelle's first pro indie release.

Aryn Michelle began writing music at the age of 15 years old and now she just can’t stop. Many describe her style as alternative pop with a flavor of country and a pinch of jazz. Not only does she write music but she sings, plays the piano, guitar and produces most of her own demos.

Aryn Michelle began her love for music early in life singing in church. She participated heavily in the arts through public school and chose to go to college to pursue a degree in music from Southwestern University. During her time at Southwestern, Aryn released 5 demos of her own original songwriting material all recorded and produced with the help of other Southwestern University students.
After graduation, she worked for the AmeriCorps*VISTA program during the day and on nights and weekends focused on touring around Georgetown and Austin, Texas. After a year of working and gigging, she decided to go back to school for Master’s work.

Aryn Michelle has just completed a certificate from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA with a major in Songwriting. While at Berklee, Aryn Michelle released her sixth demo entitled “So Clearly” and her seventh project “LIGHT.” During her time at Berklee she was honored with the Scott Benson Award for Songwriting, was chosen to perform in the annual Performing Songwriter Showcase, Songwriting Award of the Year, and the 25th Anniversary Singer's Showcase where she shared the stage with Paula Cole. Aryn Michelle just completed her first professional full-length album with producer Phillip Ferrell entitled "Lockless Heart."

Wonderful Album!
author: Wolfman
Aryn Michelle is an exciting new artist with a solid grasp on music theory and a sound all her own. Her songs are uplifting, full of energy, and she adds a level of complexity that lifts them to another level. There’s something so very refreshing about Aryn’s music and it helps me to forget about my worries and always leaves me feeling happy and revived. Lockless Heart As the title song for her first professional CD, the opening teases the listener's ears up to the first chorus; which then shifts to another dramatic, but impactful chorus. This is a complex composition, with beautiful vocals, piano, strings, and backing vocals. After first hearing it, the chorus was so brilliantly written, it stuck in my head for days…it’s a very catchy tune! Lockless Heart is a signature song Aryn! Shake Me Uplifting, positive, and happy!!!!!!!!! The opening guitar and keyboards set the mood for this high energy song! Aryn's vocals are the perfect compliment to this beautiful piece. Heart on a String Aryn, I 'm slowly discovering just how versatile you are as an artist and you are simply blowing me away! What a great song! It's absolutely infectious! The opening is nicely balanced [instrumentally speaking] and I thought the phrasing was brilliant Aryn! Why? Well, you repeated your musical phrases often enough for a listener to remember; but, not so much that you would bore them...and that can be a fine line to draw! PLUS, your lyrical phrases worked perfectly with your musical phrases! The transitions to the chorus were superb and the bridge really took “Heart on a String” to another level! I thought the violin worked beautifully; the simple injection of the snare drum was a great addition; and the synthesized percussion that sounded like it was being fed through a phase shifter added a very nice touch! Last but not least Aryn, the message of the song is something that so many of us can relate to... City Life What a great beat and it fits nicely with the lyrics and meaning of the song. Having grown up in the country and then moving to the big city…I can completely relate to your message! Amy Beth Amy Beth sends a powerful and sad message. America Sadly, your lyrics are so true. I like the way you presented this “eye-opening” piece. I hope everyone hears this song and really thinks about your message…as a society, in one of the greatest countries on earth, we can definitely do better. I wholeheartedly agree with you Aryn. Never was my Own Aryn definitely has a sound of her own, but it’s refreshing and “Never was my Own” stays true to her form. I’m sure there will be more people than not, who will be able to relate to the reality “Never was my Own” conveys. Break me with your Hands Oh Aryn, I like this song! It has a slight jazzy feel and it’s elegant! Who she was Simply outstanding! There’s something to be said for keeping a song simple, but the manner in which you composed this piece is incredibly elegant! Embraces A beautiful melody for a brilliantly written piece about human emotion and how powerful an embrace is in one’s life! You Will Sustain We all have life experiences and struggles. Aryn captures what so many of us experience as we mature and grow older. Beautifully done! I’m Your Wall What a great and uplifting message with her final song on “Lockless Heart”. “I’m your Wall“ should be dedicated to all the mother’s who put in so much hard work for their families and the unconditional support and love they give their families every single day.
