Pop singer Michelle Fabre’s music resonates with listeners

Posted

Franklin Square’s Michelle Fabrizio is no stranger to singing her heart out.

The 26-year-old local has been busy the past year, with her first commercial pop album release, music video production and putting a band together. She uses the stage name Michele Fabre, and her music is available on streaming platforms under that title.

Most recently, Fabre released her single “I’m All That I Need” with an accompanying music video. The song has been streamed more than 140,000 times at the time of publication.

“I’ve been hearing that it’s really been resonating with people lyrically,” Fabre said.

The song is about pushing past nay-sayers and those who don’t support your dreams, but also believing in yourself. The song is personal to Fabre, who says her experiences relate to the song.

The music video for “I’m All That I Need” was also edited by Fabre herself.

She highlighted the importance of her support system — family and friends — with her career as a professional singer. She said the profession can be unpredictable, and having such a strong support system has helped her along the way.

Her connection to music has evolved since she first got involved with the passion at such a young age.

“Now it’s really about being able to connect with an audience that really feels and kind of resonates with my music, my lyrics,” Fabre said.

Through her art and music, Fabre hopes to uplift people and be able to talk about deeper topics through the commercial pop genre.

She studied psychology at Nassau Community College, but she heard music call her in another direction — so she decided to pursue a professional career in the craft.

Since she was 4 years old, Fabre has loved to sing. Her father, Terry Fabrizio is an audio engineer who has operated a studio from the lower level of their home since 1989 known as Trezi Music Productions. He’s been involved in the creation of various jingles throughout his career.

Fabre works with her father to bounce ideas off of each other about the music she puts out. Songs evolve between the two of them.

Fabre’s first professional gig was with a commercial jingle for Eskimo Pie. Since then, she has been involved in jingles for Sam’s Club, Goodyear Tires, “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader,” and more.

Her biggest aspiration is to have a song chart on the Billboard Top 40. She would also love to go on tour in the future.

People can look out for Fabre’s newest single “Don’t Give Up,” which will be released in October. Right now, Fabre and her five-piece band are working to perform at live shows across Long Island and in New York City.

“We’ve just been rehearsing and we’re looking forward to performing,” she said.

People can find Fabre’s album “Find Your Fire” with 12 songs on any streaming platform. On Nov. 3, people can find Fabre and her band at Memories in Williston Park where they will perform from 7-10 p.m.

In the future, Fabre hopes to use any success she garners to give back to the community through fundraisers and performances.
