Michele Denise, American blues vocalist/songwriter, was born and raised in the southern states of the USA with roots in gospel and jazz. Sugar Queen’s smoldering vocal styling and charismatic stage presence captivates her audience. She tells her stories with gritty raw emotion. Previously working in the US and Asia, Sugar Queen broke on the European Blues music stages in 2017 performing at a large number of major festivals and clubs. Sugar Queen also opened for top musicians such as Keb Mo. 

Her 'Sugar Queen LIVE' 2019 and 2021 'Better Days' European tours were wildly successful.

Sugar Queen has released 3 self written albums which have gained international recognition in the blues charts!
