Ignited by the joy-filled echoes of her grandfather's orchestra in Wisconsin, Michelle LL was beckoned to the stage by her father's invitation to sing with the band and her mother's dance steps—a moment that ignited her love for music. With her siblings in tow, her father steering the group, Michelle's band experience became one of her first jobs, which required a lot of fun, dedication and hours on the road. At nineteen, her heartstrings intertwined with Danny Jerabek, an accomplished musician and entertainer in the polka world. Shortly after marriage, the newlyweds had to decide how their marriage would work if they were playing in different bands on the weekends and working jobs or going to college during the week. They realized they wanted to be together---and neither of them could imagine their lives without playing in a band, so they formed their own polka band, called K!CK. But the duo's creative spirit refused to be penned in by a single genre. They evolved into Copper Box, an Americana band derailing the musical tracks to forge a genre-crossing journey, fueled by showmanship, community, and raw energy. After 20+ years of touring with Copper Box and raising a family of 3 children with Danny, Michelle decided it was time to rebrand herself under the name "Michelle LL" encapsulating a symphony of endeavors and showcasing songs she loves and her growing love for singing. Her name resonates not just with music and songwriting, but also with her passion for enriching other lives with keynote concerts (imbued with empowerment, motivation, strategy), insightful business coaching and the perpetual pursuit of living freely and loving fully.
