Paco-Michelle’s live performances and digital works have graced the stages of well-known Los Angeles and Seattle-based venues, including Wilshire Ebell Theater, House of Blues, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Whiskey a Go-Go, The Viper Room, Seattle Center, Ikea Performing Arts Center, and Seattle’s cherished landmark, Columbia City Theater & Lounge.

In more recent years, after spending so much time exploring all the intriguing "ins-and-outs" of digital environments, Paco-Michelle decided to branch out and spread her creative wings...and her voice!...beyond the confines of the Metaverse and Pacific West Coast borders. She was invited to perform her poetry on-stage again, at a Seven Sisters Festival in Mount Martha, Australia. It was there and then, when she realized the true value of maintaining Human connections through creative exchange, and the importance of being willing to step outside of one's comfort zone. It was also from this experience that her piece, "Remembering What Real Life Feels Like" was created. Since then, Paco-Michelle has made appearances and shared new works from San Diego to Washington DC, to the Netherlands. And this is only the beginning!
