K Michelle DuBois - Served on the Half Shell

Songwriter and studio artist, K Michelle DuBois (KMD) sets her stream of wordplay to a blend of synth pop and atmospheric post‑punk- staying on the rails of pop sensibility while veering into experimental methods and Prog-inspired-naughtiness.  Influences range from St Vincent, PJ Harvey, and Echo & the Bunnymen, to Siouxie and the Banshees, Stevie Nicks and Jethro Tull. Find here KMD strong female vocals, raw guitar, synth hooks and driving rhythms. Nocturnal indie pop rock with a pulse you can feel in your chest.

Transplanted to Atlanta in the 90s, KMD quickly fell in love with the city’s grit and vibrantly weird art scene, especially the creative pocket around Cabbagetown. That neighborhood’s DIY spirit, eccentric characters, and anything‑goes energy shaped her early artistic identity — a place where punk, folk, drag, noise, and outsider art collided in the best possible way. It became the backdrop for her evolution into the artist she is now: independent, intuitive, and deeply connected to the communities that nurture unconventional creativity.

Over the past decade, KMD has carved out a distinct solo identity, defined in part by her long‑running creative partnership with producer and multi‑instrumentalist Dan Dixon. Together they’ve built a sonic world that’s dreamy, psych‑leaning, and emotionally charged — equal parts shadow and shimmer. Her songs resonate with listeners who crave introspective lyricism wrapped in energetic, danceable rock.

2026 marks a milestone: Served on the Half Shell, a retrospective‑plus‑new‑chapter collection celebrating ten years since her first solo album with Dixon. Featuring remastered favorites, three iconic covers, and four newly recorded tracks — including a male‑female harmony duet with Dixon and a fresh remix of her 2018 standout “Waves Break” — the release captures the full arc of her evolution. It’s both a re‑introduction and a forward‑looking statement from an artist still expanding her creative universe.
