Arily Michele

Arily Michele is a wildflower, poetess, storyteller, and DIY mastermind from Colorado. A classically trained vocalist and vintage synth enthusiast, she artfully combines her operatic background with ethereal textures and grooving rhythms to craft her signature dreamy neo-psychedelic pop sound. Her soaring coloratura soprano vocals and synth-driven performances have bewitched audiences throughout Colorado and the Southeast.

Arily began releasing music in 2021, with the pandemic serving as a catalyst. Her first album Echolalia and its leading single Ophelia were featured on Colorado Public Radio’s Colorado Matters segment, in addition to receiving local airplay in Denver. In 2022, Arily relocated to Nashville, where she quickly developed a reputation for her hypnotic live shows, earning a nomination for Vocalist of the Year at a local awards ceremony in 2025. In 2024, she released her self-produced concept album Highway Hypnosis, nearly doubling her fanbase during its rollout. Her upcoming third album is preceded by singles Komorebi, Digitalis, Silver Dollar, and Butterfly Garden. Komorebi received consideration for Best Alternative Music Performance in the 68th annual Grammy Awards, while Silver Dollar was met with critical acclaim, receiving a score of 8.2 in a review by Music Connection Magazine.

Now based in Nashville, Arily continues to write and record new music as she gears towards a third album: a psychedelic Rocky Mountain pastoral called meditation for wildflowers. Serving as an experiment with dissonant harmonies and unconventional recording techniques, the album is preceded by singles komorebi, digitalis, and silver dollar.
