Haute: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Haute

Haute is the stage name of Michelle Buzz, one half of the Los Angeles-based duo Haute with drummer/percussionist Lance Shipp. Working in the overlap of rock and pop, they build songs around '80s synth textures and a deliberately theatrical, circus-leaning visual world. Their live history spans festival and showcase settings, including appearances tied to New York City rooms such as Warsaw, alongside bills that have also featured artists like Deer Tick and Rick Beato. The approach favors tight, cue-driven structure over improvisational sprawl.
