Cindy Caldwell is an educator, improviser, and digital dissemination strategist. She is also a mother, survivor, interrupter, and fierce advocate for our young people. Born and raised in Miami, Cindy and her family moved to Jacksonville seeking more green space, fewer hurricanes, and most importantly – comunidad. Happy to report she’s found all of that here.

In between her time working at a non-profit and running her own company, you may catch Cindy somewhere in San Marco talking someone’s ear off and probably saying “bro” a lot. On the weekends, you’ll find her nocking arrows on her compound bow and running wild in the woods of Duval.

It’s as if those students wrote her songs indirectly and changed her writing style forever.  They enhanced her artistic vision, gave meaning to her life,  and became a personal antidote to her own suffering.  Teaching musical therapy was a life changing experience that led her to take music to the full extent. Her purpose has continued to evolve after witnessing music saving lives.  In 2015, Chelsey relocated to Jacksonville, Fl to pursue music as a full time career. In 2016, she met lead guitarist and music director of Alchematic, Chris Underdal at a musicians jam.  Soon after, they started booking gigs and creating original music as a duo.  The duo then evolved to a full band.Chelsey Michelle illuminates the stage with an infectious voice that effortlessly flows through the harmonic intricacies of guitarist Chris Underdal’s arrangements.  With hundreds of shows under their belt, they have toured regionally, played music festivals and keep the band working full time.  They are the creators, founders and core of the Chelsey Michelle Music brand and Alchematic.  They continue to challenge their musical limits and take the band to new heights.
