American R&B and soul singer-songwriter Chrisette Michele has an estimated net worth of $1 million dollars, as of 2023. She won a Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance in 2009 for her song “Be OK”

She later went on to study vocal and jazz performance at Five Townes College on Long Island, the same school that was attended by numerous other musicians and singers, including members of the groups Day26 (Que Mosley), Nina Sky (Nicole Albino) and Maroon 5 (Adam Levine). Chrisette graduated with a degree in vocal performance.

“My influences are definitely Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn, which I incorporate into my live show. And then Lauryn Hill was definitely a great influence of mine when she came out, as well as Erykah Badu. I say those five people had the greatest influence on me.” — Chrisette Michele on her musical influences, to concreteloop.com in June 2007.

Chrisette Michele Payne was Dec. 8, 1982 in Central Islip, New York. Grew up on Long Island, NY.

She eventually began performing at local venues and was spotted at Manhattan’s Village Underground club by India.Arie. India brought Chrisette on board her next tour as an opening opening act, and stints opening for Kem and Angie Stone followed. In 2006, she signed a contract with the Def Jam label and was initially used as a writer and singer of hooks on songs by hip-hop artists with the label, including Jay-Z, Nas and Kanye West. Her debut album, I Am, followed in June 2007, debuting in the top 5 on the R&B; albums chart. Although I Am wasn’t a blockbuster hit, it did feature the song “Be OK,” which would go on to win a Grammy. Her sophomore album, Epiphany, was more successful and debuted at No. 1 on the the Billboard pop and R&B; charts. Interestingly, her albums have been more successful than her singles, something that’s the exact reverse of most modern singers. Despite her first three albums reach the top 10 on the R&B; charts, to date none of her singles has cracked the top 10 on either Billboard’s R&B; or pop charts.

Michele released the album Out of Control, in 2018. Followed by the single “Wait”, in 2020. As of 2023, Chrisette Michele’s net worth is estimated to be $1 million.
