A Note from Michelle
Hello! My Name is Michelle Nicolo Prentice. I’m a professional singer, songwriter, stress relief coach and most importantly... a Mom. I’m the creator of Mama's Lullaby, a collection of original songs and a unique community to help moms support each other with vision, hope, wisdom, and sage guidance.
I live in Nashville with my very musical family...my amazing husband of 27 years, my three beautiful adult children and their spouses, and two gorgeous grandchildren.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. It truly means the world to me, and to the moms of the world!
The Back Story
Growing up, Michelle's parents owned an Italian restaurant called Mama Nicolo's, where a live band played every weekend.
At age 3, she pointed to the stage, and said to her Dad, “That's what I want to do!" She also always knew that she wanted to be a mother. She had her first paying singing gig when she was 8 and became a wife, a step mom, and mother at 18!
The Inspiration
The sage advice received from her own mother, as well as many others, made Michelle realize that so many Moms don't have the encouragement, support or help they need to navigate motherhood and take care of themselves in the process. They can feel lonely, overwhelmed, and underappreciated.
The Community
Many moms are so busy that they feel they don't have time to slow down. They are too stressed out and don't make time for their own care.
Mama's Lullaby's is a collection of songs and a space where ALL mothers have the opportunity to learn from Mamas all over the globe. It's a place of love, kindness, sage wisdom, and mothering, and a place for that much needed self-care.
Here is where warm supportive friendships, life changing information and resources are shared and celebrated.
The Idea
In 2016, during an overnight hospital stay with a family member. while restlessly trying to sleep on a very uncomfortable chair, Michelle recalled an original lullaby that she and her husband had recently recorded for a client. She quickly grabbed her earbuds, pressed play, and was lulled to sleep. On awakening, she thought...
“All Moms need this!”
Two years later, she received a strong intuition to call her friend Marcus Hummon to start writing lullabies.
Marcus is a dear family friend, who also happens to be a Grammy Award Winning songwriter of hits like the Wynonna Judd’s, “Only Love”, Dixie Chicks' megahits “Cowboy Take Me Away”, “Ready To Run”, Sara Evans “Born To Fly” and Rascall Flatts' biggest career song, “Bless The Broken Road”.
Marcus happily agreed to co-write a song for the project. And just like that, it all began.
Over the course of the following months, that same voice prompted Michelle to contact other hit songwriters and artists. Michelle's co-writers are Marcus Hummon, Amy Grant, Linda Davis, Mike Reid, Victoria Shaw, Chris Roberts, Lindsay Lawler, Matt Rollings, Lisa Ashman, Karen Taylor Good, Stowe Daily, Kate Cosentino, Deanna Loveland, Donna Michael, Michelle's husband Mark Prentice and their son Johnny Reno! As if divinely coordinated, all agreed to become a part of Mama's Lullaby.
