Melissa Kay McCarthy is a singer/songwriter from Wausau, Wisconsin. She grew up listening to country music and knew someday she'd become a singer. It wasn't until high school that Melissa realized she wanted to do more than sing and began writing music. Melissa's unique perspective on her life experiences can be heard in her songs. Not only is she a singer/songwriter, but she's a storyteller and loves to entertain intimate audiences.
She currently resides in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Melissa holds an associate’s degree in Educational Interpreting for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. She spent two years working in Southeast Alaska and is currently working in Southwest Wisconsin at the elementary level. Due to her limited schedule, Melissa is most often seen performing throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa.
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.
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.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.
