Michelle Jacqueline Chamuel (born 1986) is an American singer, songwriter and producer. She has released several albums and EPs as a solo artist and in partnership with others. Her latest EP, Feel It, was released in August 2016. She was the lead singer of the band Ella Riot and the runner-up on season four of The Voice. Influenced by Imogen Heap and Max Martin, she is also known by her producer alias The Reverb Junkie.
Chamuel grew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Born to Jewish Egyptian-American parents Joalie Davie and Jacques Chamuel, her father played the violin and was an acoustical engineer. She started on piano and violin at an early age. In seventh grade she started to sequence music on a synthesizer, sing and compose. She graduated from Wellesley High School and studied performing arts technology at the University of Michigan.
In 2007 Chamuel joined the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based band Ella Riot. Initially the band was instrumental, and her addition as lead vocalist became a turning point in the band's direction. The band's name was in part a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald who was an inspiration to Chamuel. The band toured extensively and released two definitive works, Dancethink and Love Child. In October 2011 the band went into hiatus.
In a 2010 interview with AfterEllen, Chamuel spoke about being out and lesbian in the music industry, staying true to herself, and artists that inspired her such as Elton John and Ani DiFranco.
