Michelle Visage (pronounced vi-SAHJ), born September 20, 1970 ^{[citation needed]} in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, is a singer and TV/radio host.

Her initial success was as a singer, when, in 1990, she was asked to join Seduction, a R&B and dance vocal trio assembled by Robert Clivilles and David Cole of C&C Music Factory. Seduction had several pop and dance hits, the biggest of which was "Two To Make It Right," a #2 Hot 100 song from 1990.

Also in 1990, she was a featured vocalist on the song "Crash (Have Some Fun)" by freestyle dance act TKA, which was a Top 10 dance hit and peaked at #80 on the Hot 100.

In 1992, she provided lead vocals to another dance act assembled by Clivilles & Cole, The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. Their song "It's Gonna Be A Lovely Day" was included on the soundtrack to The Bodyguard and became a #1 dance hit in 1992, and peaked at #34 on the Hot 100 early the next year.

In 1996 Visage became the co-host of RuPaul's VH1 talk show The RuPaul Show.

From 1996-2002, she was a morning radio co-host on WKTU. From 2002-2005, she co-hosted "The Jamz Session" on Hot 92 Jamz (KHHT) in Los Angeles. She joined Mix 102.7 in New York City in 2005 and is co-host with "Brookyn's Own" Joe Causi of The Morning Mix (WNEW-FM). She was also heard on SIRIUS satellite radio's The Beat, but left Sirius in August 2006 hinting on disagreement in programming changes.
