For Michellar, a new release is one part of a creative life that also includes visual art. The San Francisco songwriter and recording artist, known offstage as Michelle Bond, brings those practices together under an artist identity that gives listeners something to explore beyond a single song.
Her new EP, That Road to Life, arrives within that broader body of work. Released on September 25, 2026, the project gives new listeners a starting point and existing followers another chapter to explore. Its dedicated release page is linked from her official website, where music shares space with a gallery and a separate art portfolio.
The artist behind the artwork
The connection between those disciplines is practical as well as personal: Bond’s own artwork appears on her releases. The images accompanying the music therefore offer another way to encounter the same artist’s work. Her official biography describes a practice built around original songs, color and abstract imagery, with exhibitions and open mics around San Francisco among the settings where she shares it.
That context is useful when approaching Michellar’s catalog. A release can be heard on its own, while its artwork connects it to a larger creative practice. Visiting her gallery alongside the music offers a fuller introduction to the person behind both.
More chapters to discover
That Road to Life also sits alongside several longer projects. Her official catalog lists the five-track EP FAITHFUL and the 12-track album Reverie, From then till Now for 2026, following the five-track My Alma Latina, listed for 2025.
The singles collection offers further paths through her work. It includes “Open My Eyes” featuring Helen Walford, “The River” featuring Harrison Black and “Intersection” featuring Tobias Wilson. Those credits show that collaboration is another part of the catalog, alongside the continuity of Michellar’s own name and visual work.
For a first-time listener, the new EP need not be the end of the introduction. It can lead back through earlier projects, featured collaborators and the artwork connected to her releases. Together, those pieces present Michellar as an artist whose music and visual practice continue to develop alongside one another.
