The “I” in I On The Scene – that’s me. Irene Michaels. I started I On The Scene in 2008 and now we have a team of over 50 contributors and other professionals working for our loyal readers.

As an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and accomplished equestrian, I have prioritized leading an active and healthy lifestyle. This ultimately led me to develop I On Youth Collection by Irene Michaels™, an anti-aging skin care product line.

I enjoy spending time with my animals, whether at home or in my barn. I have earned my Colors, a great honor in the equestrian community for demonstrating consistency and exceptionalism in riding. This distinction enables me to ride in prestigious hunts globally.

Early Career & Accomplishments

I began my long-running entertainment career when I was only 11 years old as a dancer, my lifelong passion, and then transitioned into modeling. Ultimately I became an actress and landed a recurring role on General Hospital, a popular daytime series. This experience enabled me to produce and write for myself.

I have also appeared in several feature films and on stage in various theater productions. My career later shifted from working in front of the camera to being an entrepreneur and producer behind the camera. I formed two productions companies that produced promotional events for corporations, hotels, and convention centers. In addition, I built the Showtime modeling agency from the ground up and managed to keep it running flawlessly for over two decades.

One of the peak moments in my career began when I created my signature brand, “I On…”. The first to come was I On The Scene, a website directly linked to numerous opportunities, including a cover story for Resident Magazine.

These accomplishments allowed me to become a regular contributor to HuffPost in multiple sections, including Beauty, Lifestyle, and Post 50.

It’s the crack between the last golden rays of summer and the dark cold gray
winter when the barriers between the supernatural world and ours is whisper thin and ghoulish magic sings its song.

Music is the strongest form of magic and Randy’s tunes speak for themselves and come straight from the heart….

Randy has bedazzled movie goers with over 100 soundtracks he’s written for film and tv including Last of the Mohicans, My Cousin Vinny, Gettysburg, Billy Madison, The Bruce Lee Story, Drop Dead Fred, Kindergarten Cop, While You Were Sleeping…..and a barrage of others. However, in staying with the Halloween theme he’s also orchestrated suspense-full thrillers such as Diabolique, The Skulls, The Boy Next Door, Anaconda, The Mask, The Mummy and of course there’s always Ghostbusters ll. The congregation will be tricked and treated to some of the most bewitching and enraptured movie score medleys ever heard….

His beautiful, sensitive and soulful ballads will keep you mesmerized and spellbound. His songs have been covered by artists including Barry Manilow (A Weekend in New England), Patti LaBelle (Isn’t it a Shame), Nelly (My Place), The Carpenters (You), and others such as Dionne Warwick, Olivia Newton-John, Willy Nelson, Blood, Sweat and Tears, and a marathon of more. Aside from his music, his backstage stories will possess you and keep you holding on to the edge of your seat.

Then like that of a shadowy, evanescence spirit he suddenly vanishes…..

The Cutting Room is an elegant, eclectic New York City night spot with a decade of history that includes performances by artists, such as John Mayer, Lady Gaga, Sting, Sheryl Crow, and even David Bowie. It was created by original owner Steve Walter, who is a Berklee alumni and along with co-owner Chris North (Big from Sex in the City) they welcome extraordinary performances and special moments with a fresh new take on what a Rock club and lounge should feel like.

In a show of unity and good will for all mankind, the iconic Chicago based 40 year old House Music Trax Record label will join forces with the New York based pop driven Tribeca Records for a unique double- single record launch on the Sandbar Rooftop of Chelsea Table and Stage on September 22, 2023 at 11:00 PM. Tribeca is proud to release “What The World Needs Now  Is Love” covered by House/Pop music diva Irene Michaels who will also be performing earlier that evening (@ Chelsea T&S @7:00 PM).

The trending hot nightspot Chelsea Table and Stage is also at the same location.

Independent labels have a legacy of exposing and discovering all the great music of the last century. While it’s not unusual for an independent label to form an alliance with a major label, the poetry of this case is that both Tribeca and Trax are independent labels, promoting different types of music and artists. More so the poetry of this is that Irene Michaels has usually been released as a House Music artist on Trax records, while Randy Edelman, more of a pop artist has usually been released on Tribeca records, both for the past 2 years.

In a quote from Trax President Rachael Cain, “I’ve always believed in Margaret Meads quote about the power of a small group of people to change the world. I’ve experienced that in my life when a group of us kids changed the world with the creation of the house music genre on a small indie label Trax Records. This project was created and produced by several friends, and two labels with the dream of uplifting one another, through their time of need. The outcome of this unlikely pairing is a beautiful inspirational message in a song that certainly gave me the strength that I needed, and we believe will give others courage to come together when the politics of the world are driving us apart.”

John “SohoJohnny” Pasquale President of Tribeca Records added “We have a shared destiny, a shared responsibility to save the world from those who attempt to destroy it. The only thing that we can do to save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world through song in music. I am proud and happy to share the musical inspirations of Irene Michaels, Randy Edelman, and Melle Mel, and honored to be collaborating with Trax records in this endeavor.”

Irene Michaels has covered one of the most inspirational songs ever written, “What The World Needs Now Is Love”, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and made famous by the iconic singer Jackie de Shannon. This year was a song was inducted into the “US Library of Congress for the preservation in the National Recording Registry. There was never a time that we needed to be reminded of the song’s sentiments than now.

Randy Edelman and Melle Mel, an unlikely collaboration, have released an inspirational global phenomena, words and music by Randy Edelman and the rhyme by Melle Mel in “Everything is Possible.” The song is a tribute to the underdog, the outlander, the dark horse and to those who have a dream.

Irene Michaels has been in the entertainment business all of her life. She metamorphosed from dancer to model to actress with a reoccurring role in the popular soap opera General Hospital and a role in the iconic movie “Killer Klowns from Outer Space.” She is an award- winning equestrian, and the rising star in the music industry.

Randy Edelman is credited for composing over 100 television and film soundtracks, including “Last of the Mohicans”, “My Cousin Vinny”, Ghostbusters ll”, “Dragonheart”, the TV series “MacGyver”, and a marathon of others. He has had a plethora of his songs covered by artists including: Barry Manilow, Patti LaBelle, Nelly, Bing Crosby, Dionne Warwick, Olivia Newton-John, The Carpenters, and a barrage of others.

Grandmaster Melle Mel is a Grammy winner, has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and was the first rap artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You can hear him on the records of Chaka Khan, Lady Gaga, Cher, Duran Duran, and many others.
