About Ravenna Michalsen

Ravenna Michalsen trained as a classical cellist for 14 years until developing arthritis and turning to singing and songwriting. She studied as a child at Neighborhood Music School and continued her music studies at Yale as an undergraduate. After struggling with arthritis and the inability to continue with cello, Ravenna turned to singing and song-writing, releasing her first album of original dharma songs, entitled 'Bloom', in January of 2006. After the release of 'Bloom', Ravenna performed relentlessly and continued to hone her songwriting.

'Dharmasong', Ravenna's second album (released December 2007), has been glowingly reviewed by various websites. Wildmind.org called it "...gutsy, powerful, colorful and as deeply devotional singing as you'll ever hear." The New Haven Advocate wrote: "The adjective 'meditative' might seem too appropriate for an album of Buddhist-inspired songs, but there's really no better way to describe this effortless, enchanting music. With an absolutely impeccable sense of phrasing and pure, confident vocals, Michalsen inhabits her sometimes a cappella music with integrity and grace..."
