About Michelle Oram

I’ve always believed your relationship with your voice carries over in all aspects of your life. Learning to nurture and embrace your voice is necessary to find balance and harmony.

After graduating from the Boston Conservatory of Music, I  explored breath-body mastery and integrated Eastern and Western approaches of Yoga, Tai-Chi, Alexander, and Bel-Canto  techniques to help me get out of my head, into my heart and connect with the divine teacher within. 

For me, music is poetry and transforms the way I look at the world.

I founded Stagestruck Performing Arts Center with numerous locations in NJ to help everyone discover the artist within.  I developed art, dance, drama, musical theater, and vocal programs for thousands of students from ages three to adult. Because of the diversity in programs students were able to explore all their artistic possibilities. Many of my students have performed and directed on and off Broadway. Some are composers, vocal coaches, songwriters, artists, dancers, teachers, music therapists and yoga instructors, but all share one thing in common—the importance of music in their daily lives.

Because of my love of music I have been  blessed to sing with some amazing big bands and jazz ensembles over the past 35 years and have also acted and directed in theaters throughout the East Coast. My jazz band …and All That Jazz pays tribute to numerous styles of music—jazz, cabaret, blues, Broadway and pop —all with a unique twist. 

Since moving to Northeast, Pa. Full time in 2017 my  band and I have performed at Harmony in the Woods in Hawley , Vic’s Jazz club in Jim Thorpe and many Speakeasies in the Scranton/Hawley/Honesdale area. I was honored to be a headliner for the 2017 Scranton Cultural Arts “Jump Jive Jazz Festival” and many Milford Music Festivals. I also participated the past 8 years in The Settlers Inn Summer Jazz Series and performed my all French Jazz Cabaret show also at Settlers for the past 8 years on Valentines Day and in many venues across Northeast Pa. It is a sophisticated tour-de-force ranging from music of Michel LeGrand, Jaques Demy, Piaf, Django Reinhard, french twists to popular American songs —there’s even a french version of Round Midnight!

I have hosted many Open Mics in NJ and Pa. for Writers, Singers  and Poets and am always trying to break new ground with my Jazz Poetry.
