MELISSA IS PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF
Sounds Like
Been compared to: Patsy Cline, Patty Loveless, Terri Clark, Tanya Tucker, Martina McBride but has a sound all her own.
Melissa has been singing since age 2 . She was an international star at an early age. Her Mother & Aunt sent voice recordings of her to her Uncle who was stationed overseas. He and his fellow soldiers looked forward to mail call when the tapes would arrive.
At age 13, country great Don Williams heard a tape of her singing and got an audition for her at the Grand Ole Opry. Her Father was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver, it also caused her mother to become withdrawn and have a nervous breakdown. She felt her place wasn't in the spotlight it was with her family & her Mother. Her Grandmother convinced her to continue to do the one thing she loved the most and that was perform!
She returned to her Grandfathers band, The Varieteers, and performed for many outings with them, that included fairs & festivals. She would watch from the sidelines as the people danced and had a wonderful time listening to them perform. When she was announced to come on stage and would perform her rendition of the great Patsy Cline's Crazy or I Fall To Pieces people would stop dancing and just watch her sing. In the beginning it would make the young perfomer a little nervous. She finally realized that any song she would perform no matter where she performed the audience would stop dancing and listen with rapt attention and when a song would end they would break out in thunderous applause.
She recently sent a demo to Vision Music Group, from there it was non stop, they recognized her talent and wanted her to come to Nashville to record two singles.
It's all starting here! Melissa wants to build a tremendous fan following! She also believes that lightning will strike twice with her singing career! She will truly make that long hard road to stardom and knows it starts with her fans! Melissa would like to dedicate this page to her Grandma & Mom, without them this would never have been possible!
I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Publish artist interviews in English to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazineInterviewsEnglish , interviews in French to http://groups.myspace.com/InterviewsAvecCountryMusicStars and interviews in German to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryMusikInterviews . All these groups on MySpace are part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
