Melissa Collins is an up and coming singer/songwriter that has made some great accomplishments in her six-month residency in Los Angeles. This Kentucky girl has shared the stage with and performed for some industry greats including: Slash (Guns & Roses), Bob Mothersbaugh (Devo), Joe Bonamassa, Denny Fongheiser (Counting Crows, Tracy Chapman), Denny Seiwell (Wings) and many others!
Her voice has been compared to some of the greatest, soulful female artists of all time. Her live shows are high energy; not what one would expect from just a gal with a keyboard. Her originals are inspiring and sensual. Her voice rolls over her audiences like warm molasses, touching them one-by-one and leaving them begging for more.
Melissa has recently been the featured artist on radio stations UKAwayFM (Canary Islands) and on KISL (Avalon, CA). She has also recently played some of the most envied venues in Hollywood: The Viper Room, Whisky a Go Go, and many more!
Melissa sings in many styles: blues, pop, rock, country, gospel, R&B. She is available for private parties, clubs, studio work, jingles, demos, etc. Visit www.melissacollins.net for booking info.
REVIEWS:
“Melissa has the power voice of Janis Joplin and the soul-filled sound of Ma Rainey from Memphis’ Bealle Street gritty blues genre of many years ago. At once you know that this singer is on track to become one of the next legends. Her style is down-to-earth and timely yet classic. “ - MusicStew Review
“A voice that pairs a range just short of Mariah Carey’s with the richness of Patsy Cline’s ignites the room. Toss in a little Whitney Houston and Reba McEntire and you have (Melissa) Collins.” - The Evansville Courier
