She was born in New York City and raised by her mother, a sculptor, and her father, a classical composer. Known for a delicate, comforting voice and sentimental songwriting, the emotional honesty of her music is widely relatable. She founded Cabin 24 Records, an independent label through which she has released her entire studio output—including, as of June 2024, eight studio albums, a compilation album, and thirteen singles, including platinum hits "The Way I Am," "Girls Chase Boys," and "You and I." She has scored songs for television, including Little Fires Everywhere (Emmy nominated) and Tiny Beautiful Things (both for Hulu), and was executive music producer for Apple TV+’s Slumberkins, creating original songs for the series. Michaelson was recently seen as a guest star in Season 3 of Netflix’s Girls5Eva, and starred in the indie film Humor Me alongside co-stars Jemaine Clement and Elliott Gould. She made her Broadway on-stage debut in Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812 and recently made her Broadway debut as a composer in 2024 writing the music and lyrics for the Tony-nominated musical, The Notebook. The Original Broadway Cast Recording, released via Atlantic, reached #1 on Billboard’s Cast Albums Chart. Michaelson is set to release her 9th studio album, For the Dreamers, on August 23.[4]
