Ingrid Ellen Michaelson (born December 8, 1979) is an American singer, songwriter, composer, and actress.

Known for a delicate, comforting voice and sentimental songwriting, the emotional honesty of her music is widely relatable. She founded Cabin 24 Records, an independent label through which she has released her entire studio output—including, as of June 2024, eight studio albums, a compilation album, and thirteen singles, including platinum hits "The Way I Am," "Girls Chase Boys," and "You and I."

Michaelson has scored songs for television, including Little Fires Everywhere (Emmy nominated) and Tiny Beautiful Things (both for Hulu), and was executive music producer for Apple TV+’s Slumberkins, creating original songs for the series. Michaelson was recently seen as a guest star in Season 3 of Netflix’s Girls5Eva, and starred in the indie film Humor Me alongside co-stars Jemaine Clement and Elliott Gould.

Michaelson made her Broadway on-stage debut in 2017, starring in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812. In 2024, she made her Broadway debut as a composer, writing the music and lyrics for the Tony-nominated musical The Notebook. Michaelson is set to release her ninth studio album, For the Dreamers, on August 23.[4]
