Ingrid Ellen Michaelson was born on December 8, 1979, in New York City, demonstrating an early aptitude for music from a young age. Raised by artistic parents—her mother a sculptor and her father a classical composer—Michaelson began piano lessons at four, continuing her musical training through high school. She later attended Binghamton University, earning a degree in theater, where she was also involved in an a cappella group and an improv comedy troupe.
Michaelson independently released her debut album, “Slow the Rain,” in 2005, followed by “Girls and Boys” in 2006. Her career received significant acceleration when a music producer from the ABC drama “Grey’s Anatomy” discovered her work online. This led to multiple songs being featured on the show, notably “Breakable” and “Keep Breathing,” which was used in the 2007 season finale. This exposure, combined with a feature of her song “The Way I Am” in an Old Navy commercial, significantly boosted her public profile and album sales, reaching #53 on the iTunes overall charts and leading to her re-releasing “Girls and Boys” through Original Signal Recordings in 2007, charting at #63 on Billboard.
Over the years, Michaelson has consistently released new music, including “Be OK” (2008), “Everybody” (2009), “Human Again” (2012), “Lights Out” (2014), “It Doesn’t Have to Make Sense” (2016), “Songs for the Season” (2018), “Stranger Songs” (2019), and “For the Dreamers” (2024). She has also expanded her career into musical theater, serving as the composer and lyricist for the musical adaptation of “The Notebook,” which premiered on Broadway in 2024 and received multiple Tony Award nominations. Michaelson’s film and television contributions include scoring songs for “Little Fires Everywhere” (2020) and “Tiny Beautiful Things,” and she appeared as a guest star in Netflix’s “Girls5Eva” in 2024.
