Violinist, violist, composer, producer, and world's first LED string ensemble founder Michelle Jones joins The Stereo Image for a wide-ranging conversation about a remarkable career built on versatility and relationships. Michelle shares the story behind her orchestration work on Maluma's "Botero" (recorded under NDA on Halloween, now with over 4 million streams), the debut of the Robert Kerr Ensemble at Carnegie Hall, and Violectric - the group she founded that plays rock and pop on light-up, wirelessly DMX-controlled instruments.
She also opens up about a legal battle that changed U.S. copyright law for content creators, her 26 years as a Disney seasonal solo musician (one of only seven in the world with that status), a Grammy nomination for a children's album featuring Alice Cooper and Slash, and what it's like recording in her home studio just three miles from the Magic Kingdom - fireworks and all.
