This multitalented
female vocalist, songwriter, guitarist, pianist
and drummer, is exactly what her name encompasses.
She has played the Chicago land area and its surrounding
suburbs. Her unique style of Music is mixed from
all the genres she’s grown and enjoyed. It’s
hard to put her style into one. Her listening pleasure
goes from Stevie Wonder, Papa Roach, all over the
place, which is why so many from many different
creeds enjoy her music. And what she has to say
in her music. Born on the South Side of Chicago
and into music, Melody grew up with a well known
Chicago based drummer as her father and a well-known
Chicago based singer as her mother. Along with her
brother she was taken around town to shows that
her parent’s were in. Seeing many times before
how to work a crowd how to keep a crowd in good
spirits, and most importantly how to entertain a
crowd. Her musical weapon is the guitar along with
her brother who plays the trumpet, they play the
Chicago land area wining hearts left and right.
Her voice and music is like no other.
The first singer she imitated as a child was Brian
McKnight learning every tune she could get her hands
on. Waking up early in the summer right after her
mom would leave for work. Turning the stereo all
the way up and singing with a broomstick in the
basement. You could just tell she hungered for the
stage. Following that she began to learn the guitar
and take it seriously by studying bands like Prince
and the Revolution, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl
Jam and Jimi Hendrix and the Gypsy’s. Finally
finding her self she began writing songs and from
there on out perfecting her style, Making sure that
she didn’t fit into prototype music, she wanted
to make sure she sounded different, she wanted to
make sure her songs meant something.
Teaming up with her brother on songs gave it something
different there was more to the sound something
different. Rock chords with a rock type Melody but
hip-hopish type flare from the trumpet to it. Making
songs together out of thin air coming up with different
concepts its like the two don’t stop creating.
Couple of years later they began building a band
and creating fuller sounds unable to put songs into
a genre. They continued to create and began building
a fan base. Later on accompanied by a Chicago drummer
Chuck Lacy they’re complete sound started
to click. Things were picking up and clicking. Doing
shows and getting love from the entire crowd for
shows that were not there own. The want for a new
CD is greater then ever. She’s still waiting
and deciding on what songs to put out. They continue
to try songs on new crowds and testing the vibe
in the air. To see where it takes them.
This new Artist from the very first tune will have
you captured, Melodic Angel to say the very least.
She currently working on getting out and playing
