Melvin Jones known to the world as MELE MEL "The Poetic Prophet" is an artist/songwriter whose passion is to minister the word of God via Christian hip-hop. A true lover of Christ, he tries to live his life according to God's word realizing that one of the most powerful forms of ministry is to lead by example. He was raised in Morgan projects in Pittsburgh, Pa where seemingly there was a black cloud and not a hint of God’s presence. A self-described “ex-knucklehead”, he was a slave to drug dealing, alcoholism and every other aspect the streets had to offer a faithless child. At age 20 Mele Mel was forced out on his own and relocated a considerable distance from home and any familiar faces. It was at the end of that one year period that God would do his greatest works in his life. He reached his all time low when he first discovered that his favorite social hobby had evolved into full blown dependency of alcohol. Making matters worse his crack career brought about a client who was a fellow classmate’s younger sibling who was only 18 years of age. It was then that Mele Mel’ lifestyle transformed from boastful to shameful. He had prayed a million times before but this time was different, he got on his knees, SURRENDERED to God and cried out “God I need you, this thing is BIGGER than me and I CAN'T do this myself, I NEED change, please HELP ME” and his life was FOREVER changed! He attended church for the first time with no real expectations but would soon be led to give his life to Christ on June 29th, 2003. With no hesitation he brought an end to his heavy drinking, smoking and drug dealing lifestyle and would soon be baptized, enroll in college and begin working a full time job. God tugged at his spirit for many months telling him to use his gift of music for his glory, but he repeatedly rejected his call to ministry as he found the idea of Christian hip-hop to be extremely lame. That fortunately changed a few years ago when he realized that he could no longer outrun this calling on his life. He is currently hard at work on his debut album entitled ‘MY TESTIMONY’ which tells of his compelling journey from hopelessness to righteousness.
MELE MEL can be heard on several radio broadcasts from his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Oakland California, radio shows such as Wamo, Point Park University, Revolt Radio and King FM Radio. He has been featured 3 times in “The New Pittsburgh Courier” and also in “Exodus” magazine. In November 2007 Mele Mel shot his first video “GOD OR HIP-HOP” in HD with Tony Phelan of channel 11 news.
Listening to him minister, it is impossible not to notice the anointing placed upon his life and sense his genuine love for Jesus Christ. Christians and non Christians alike can't help but to recite the lyrics of his latest hit single “SOLDIER” which boldly illustrates Mele Mel’ "SOLDIER" status in the army of God to the creative and humbling lyrics of “MY BIBLE -N- MY BUS PASS” , This kid seems to be the complete package, authentic street swag and sound doctrine. Most known for his authenticity, passionate rhymes, creative concepts and uncompromising delivery MELE MEL The Poetic Prophet has already begun to fulfill his goal of changing this world one soul at a time.
