Favorite Quote: “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself” - George Bernard Shaw

Advice for the DJs, artists and producers of our community: You can’t control what others say or do but you can control how you react, it doesn’t matter at all what anyone else thinks about you. Deflect and ignore any negativity, use it as fuel and motivation to drive you to crush your goals. Be true and authentic to yourself, don’t ever compromise on that. Lead with positivity and kindness, it’s infectious and will attract more of that into you life.

Michelle Herrmann, better known to the masses as Punisher, began her music career back when mix tapes were still popular. She is a Detroit native with over 26 years behind the turntables, synthesizers and drum machines . Michelle was drawn to music and the creative side of life from the beginning. She was fortunate to find her way into the early 90’s Detroit techno scene when the energy was awe inspiring, from that moment Punisher emerged. As a record aficionado, her preference behind the decks is playing vinyl and her knowledge of records is vast. Her studio tracks are devoted to hardware, analog gear and spontaneous live mix downs.  A strong understanding of machines and midi programming allows her to perform powerful, dance floor igniting, live PA sets that take you on a journey through hypnotic, cerebral soundscapes. Michelle released her first two records in 1997 on Detroit label Matrix and has since appeared on over 40 different releases on internationally recognized labels including Denied Music, Detroit Underground, Synewave and her own imprint Hej Records. While mainly focused on techno and house, Michelle has the ability to play across multiple genres. Punisher has performed at clubs and festivals all over the globe, alongside world renowned acts such as Sebastian Mullaert, Maceo Plex, The Black Madonna, Richie Hawtin and The Orb. Most recently she was brought on as a resident at the globally recognized “Make it New” event in Cambridge. Michelle will continue to travel where the music takes her in pursuit of musical enlightenment.
