Michelle Bristow the singer-songwriter behind Purple Iris Music.

Michelle lives and writes from her home in Taunton, Somerset.

“I’ve been writing songs ever since I was a child and the time has come to finally share my music with a larger audience. As an expectant mother I incorporated lullabies for my children into my songwriting repertoire, which has evolved into my own particular style of restful music.”

“In 2008, my son, Daniel, was born with Down Syndrome and some years later he was diagnosed with Autism. He is currently non-verbal and totally reliant on adult support for all of his self-care needs.

Having a child like Dan has transformed our family in ways we couldn’t have imagined and although it has its daily challenges, we’re all better off for having him in our lives.”
