Irene Michaels resonates profoundly with the GAY community—one rooted in curiosity, exploration, and embracing diverse identities. As a singer‑songwriter and recording artist who’s flourished later in life (her house‑music hit “I Like Rain” earned a Josie Award and Grammy consideration), she embodies lifelong learning, reinvention, and resilience. Her performances at Pride events and advocacy through inclusive messaging reinforce a genuine connection with diverse audiences, especially LGBTQ+ fans who see her as both ally and champion. Through her original songs, public appearances, and charitable engagement, Irene inspires the LGBTQ community to remain vibrant, magnetic, and rooted in both creativity and compassion.
Irene Michaels will be taking the stage at the legendary Copacabana on June 28th, helping to kick off Ike Avelli’s Pride Month show as part of the vibrant lineup of celebrations happening across New York City. As a dynamic performer and longtime ally of the LGBTQ+ community, Irene brings her signature flair, music, and heartfelt energy to an evening dedicated to joy, inclusivity, and unapologetic self-expression. Her participation not only reflects her growing presence in the house music scene but also her deep resonance with the LGBTQ+ audience—celebrating love, pride, and the power of performance during one of the most meaningful months of the year.
