Enter Mailing Address

Hi there, I'm Melanie. I am a performer of pop/rock music. I grew up on an eclectic mix of music ranging from born again Christian rock, New Age, Ravi Shankar, Philip Glass, Disco, Classic Rock, and a variety of miscellaneous obscure recordings.

I grew up in a religiously-diverse household. My mother saw to it that my siblings and I attend Catholic school, while my dad kept a collection of books on Zen and eastern spirituality. He was also a potter and experimental artist, which fueled my desire to create early on.

My grandparents owned two baby grand pianos with two daunting oil portraits of my great-grandparents hanging over each. Seeing a piano at the time was like the circus coming into town, so visiting the grandparents was quite magical. When I first had the chance to salivate over practice room pianos at San Francisco State, I dove in head first and became a music major.

In time, I bought a Fender acoustic guitar and Mel Bay chord book, setting sail on my songwriting path. In 1999 I recorded my first demo on a four-track and distributed cassette copies to my bookstore co-workers. I even included a rough track, "Intergalactic Dream", composed on a Casio that I'd accidentally stolen from a childhood friend. Since then, I've been on a steady path of writing and playing shows throughout California and Arizona.

My attempts to create an Open at the Mama Buzz Cafe have failed. The
will be no open mic at the Mama Buzz cafe. The "Every Second Sunday"
open mic has been double booked for the second month in a row. It is
clear I'm not suited to be the host of an open mic. Thank you all for
your interest and support. My sincerest apologies to all musicians
poets that hoped and even planned for this open mic.



Best of wishes to all.

Hey Melanie,

How are you doing? Been quite a while! I received your invitation for your next performance which to my surprise will also be featured on Second Life?! How did that happen?!

Great to hear your music again from your profile, brings back great memories! Enjoyed a lot being able to hear you working on your music from just a room away. :-)
