AHC Hospitality – Amway Grand Plaza
One of our clients; Amway Grand Plaza, hired YEA Artist Michelle Hall for a wonderful voice over job. Her voice is the voice you hear when you turn on any television in the hotel and in the plaza area. Michelle’s soft, smooth, tone directs individuals from all over the world around the hotel plaza and keeps them informed. What a pleasure it was working with this client, the artist and Solid Sound Studio, located in Ann Arbor.

We brought together talented Michigan singers, songwriters, and the Detroit Children’s Choir in a new album of original and classic Christmas music.
YEA CHRISTMAS
The Michigan Christmas Album project began earlier this year when featured recording artist, Marcell Whitfield, approached Your Entourage Agency, Inc. (YEA) with an idea to develop an album to promote local singing talent. Executive producer Kimberly Simpson greenlighted the project (with a holiday twist) and partnered with the DCC to help the organization generate awareness and showcase its performers.
Along with performances by the Detroit Children’s Choir, The Michigan Christmas Album includes original songs written and performed by artists Marcell Whitfield, Aspen Jacobsen, and Tyler Soncrainte. Singers Noah Hardecki and Jayquan Curtis of the DCC are featured soloists.
