Mish, who is known off-stage as Miss Michelle Johnson, is a vocalist, songwriter and choreographer whose heart belongs to her hometown, Pittsburgh, PA. The C.A.P.A Middle/High School graduate has taken audiences through a storm of song and style at venues including the Pittsburgh Hard Rock Cafe, The Rex Theater, and The Greer Theater. Mish’s classically trained, soulful vocals incorporate stylistic elements from Aretha Franklin to Beyonce, earning her the moniker, “The Velveteen Voice of Pittsburgh.” Whether she is covering Aretha Franklin classics or original selections, she is at ease in any vocal capacity. Johnson played the role of Motormouth Maybelle in the 2014 CCAC South and 2019 Stage 62 production of Hairspray, and has performed with the renowned Pittsburgh Opera company in Aida. She has opened for pop superstars Nick Jonas (2015) and Ke$ha (2018). In 2019 and 2022 Johnson was a featured singer for Broadway Meets Motown at The Strand Theater. Mish shows involve extraordinary live vocals, vivacious hand-made, red carpet worthy costumes. Most recently, Johnson appears as the dynamic, hilarious, host and producer of her homegrown local TV talk show ‘The Mish Connection’ on Pittsburgh’s PCTV.

Jordan ‘JAE’ Robinson, Spiritual Metaphysician & Mixed Media Communications Artist, is no stranger to the stage – She’s lived there for what feels like an eternity & infuses it into her life 24/7/365! As a child she found it difficult navigating the  physical natures of reality because her mind & thoughts were usually in the abstract, artistic or spiritual philosophical realms. Being highly attuned to the dramatic and theatrical elements of life as a highly sensitive empath herself, she has always viewed the world as a stage, and herself and others as actors (whether actively or passively engaged). Jordan’s debut into sensational performance artistry began with studying ballet and jazz with the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater. Jordan has sang publicly throughout her 20’s with Mish at The Rex Theater, The Hard Rock Cafe & on her PCTV show The Mish Connection. She also sang publicly in a Valentine’s themed showcase with EKC Productions, as a backup singer for singer-songwriter Mychole Starr & as lead & back up with her dad’s former band Network 602 (where she first met Mish!) Additionally, she’s also danced with the Steel City Angels under Jerry Chiappinelli from 2009-2012 and has won awards for her poetry & song lyrics, having been compared to Pink’s style of creative visceral expression.
