    You have such a beautiful voice...
    'Time Stands Still' ignites my soul everytime I listen.

    I'd like to do a video featuring the song some day.

    "Time Stands Still" is brilliant! Do you know where to buy the track digitally? How about "Supernal"? I know its been out for a while but I can't find it anywhere. Great work again and happy holidays!

Biog...

A North-Londoner with Liverpudlian and Middle-Eastern roots, Melinda began honing her music on the live scene not far from where she was raised on the outskirts of Camden. Many of her favourite gigs sat just beneath the radar on the local circuit, from the open mic nights at The Royal Exchange to acoustic sets at the Caernarvon Castle. It was there that she began selling home-made CDs of her original songs.

On the back of her solo adventures as a singer-songwriter she has been invited to write and record on releases by numerous artists, from UK producers UNKLE (on albums More Stories and End Titles) to former Transglobal Underground members Temple of Sound (the album Globalhead) with whom she toured across Europe and Asia as a lead vocalist, culminating in headlining the W.O.M.A.D. festival in Singapore. Most recently she provided vocals alongside Nicolette (Massive Attack, 4hero) and The Creole Choir of Cuba for Samuel Yirga’s album Guzo, which was released in 2012 on Peter Gabriel’s Real World label and went to No.1 on the U.S. itunes World music chart.

Her journey into EDM began when producers Mark Pledger and Oli Smith invited her to feature in their collaboration with Gatecrasher DJ Matt Hardwick. The resulting track Connected was championed by Radio One and described by DJ Mag as "perfected brilliance... Melinda Gareh's vocal haunts, enchants and bewitches in precise measures... her lyrics and delivery are faultless.” This was followed by the single The Unknown with Whitewater. Reviewed by veteran DJ Graham Gold as “vocally a real winner,” the track received a 5 star review from DJ Mag…“Melinda Gareh’s vocals are stunning,” and was remixed later that year by the world’s No.1 DJ Paul Van Dyk for inclusion on his Politics of Dancing Vol.2 compilation. Her next collaboration with Mark Pledger entitled Fallen Tides received five stars from DJ Mag and was voted record of the week by both Above and Beyond and twice by TATW listeners before being picked up for The Thrillseekers' Nightmusic Vol.3. compilation and the Ministry of Sound 2008 Annual. Supernal, her follow-up collaboration with Matt Hardwick, was the debut release for his label Kill the Lights and her latest single with Mark Pledger, entitled Time Stands Still, was another TATW webvote winner and trance single of the month in both i-DJ magazine and DJ Mag, reviewed in DJ Mag as having "vocals and lyrics virtually without peer in the past twelve months... a magical track."

Whilst her inspirations run from the legendary Argentine artist Mercedes Sosa to the urban mysticism of The Stone Roses, she occasionally feels most at home listening to Tibetan singing bowls. Still based in London she is currently recording material for her solo album. Demo versions of three of the album’s tracks, Violet, Surrender and In the Hour can be heard on her myspace music player.
