Biography/Description (157 words)
“Songs and stories that dance in your head, heart, and funny bone — and a voice that lifts you with warmth, wit, and wisdom.”
Michel Neray’s songwriting exhibits a depth and intimacy that blends the emotive storytelling of Leonard Cohen with a musical edge that draws inspiration from Americana powerhouses like Jason Isbell.
His voice carries a sincerity that’s both vulnerable and resilient. Thoughtful arrangements provide the canvas for the lyrics, with fine brush strokes that paint the nuances of the human condition with poetic grace, while never shy to crank out a banger or two.
The overall effect resonates deeply, and lingers in the heart, head, and feet.
It's when Michel is on stage that audiences get the full experience of authentic connection to song and story. From the one-liner that creates the crucible for what's stirring in the pot, or the comic punchline that clears the path to a new thought, or the backstory that allows each audience member to see themselves in the same space, everything is woven together like threads of a fabric that envelops the soul.
As a professional motivational speaker and trainer, Michel has spoken in more than nine countries worldwide and routinely performs his music as part of his keynotes and workshops.
For performing musicians, Michel offers workshops on storytelling and ‘banter’. For corporations and business conferences, Michel consults and delivers keynotes on core messaging and storytelling.
