Pieces by Michele Stodart
Michele Stodart is a solo artist as well as bassist, vocalist and co-songwriter with much-loved, double-platinum selling The Magic Numbers. The band recently released their fifth studio album, Outsiders, in May 2018, to great critical acclaim. After almost a decade of touring world-wide with the band, in 2012, Michele self-released an album of her own songs, Wide-Eyed Crossing, a southern-drenched journey into Americana country blues. "I never thought I'd release a solo album, but I needed closure from those songs, so recording them was the only way to truly move on." Michele later signed to none other than Bjork's record label One Little Indian, releasing her second album Pieces in 2016. These albums, as well as Michele’s intimate, heart-wrenching live performances helped her gain recognition for her solo material and proved she is an artist and songwriter in her own right.
In-between recording and touring, Michele has been building a name for herself as musical director, curator and collaborator for a range of events. She promotes regular monthly nights at Camden’s legendary Green Note which she curates and hosts together with her brother, Romeo. Using her skills as a songwriter and
multi-instrumentalist has also led to many collaborative projects on stage and in the studio, with artists such Kathryn Williams, David Ford, Ren Harvieu, Charlie Dore, David Kitt, O'Hooley & Tidow amongst many others.
In 2019 Michele graced our screens in the Danny Boyle / Richard Curtis blockbuster film ‘Yesterday’. She was chosen for her role in the movie due to her melodic bass playing and electric, enigmatic stage presence. Working alongside Boyle, Curtis and musical composer, Daniel Pemberton, both Michele’s bass and vocals are featured on the Abbey Road Studios movie soundtrack, reinterpreting The Beatles most beloved hits.
Currently Michele is recording her third solo album.
