EJ Michels, a Draper singer-songwriter who drew national attention on 'The Voice,' has released his debut solo album, 'Michigan Avenue,' with songs inspired by his life story: Being gay and growing up in the Latter-day Saint faith.
After appearing on “The Voice,” Michels came home, and was soon back on stage — doing a set at Fork Fest in American Fork in June.
Michels started work on the album in March 2021, working remotely with producers and recording the instruments and vocals himself — augmenting his songwriting with those transcendent vocals that got both Chance the Rapper and Shelton to turn their chairs around. “The very first lyric is ‘suburban child,’ and that kind of encapsulates the feel of this album in a sense of Michigan Avenue being that suburb — and what feels like growing up in the suburbs in Utah,” Michels said. “And me finding myself inside of that. There was a lot of good that came from it, and there’s also a lot of really difficult hard aspects of me finding myself and belonging to myself.”
