   About Melissa
At age 13, Melissa Li ditched classical music to write cheesy love songs. Over the next 11 years, she has developed a distinct style - passionate lyrics, acoustic riffs, and undeniably catchy refrains.

Her first full-length musical "Surviving the Nian", which received the prestigious Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation award, opened to rave reviews at the Boston Center for the Arts Calderwood Pavilion in April 2007.

Melissa Li is also a freelance filmmaker and videographer.

Currently, Melissa is part of the Good Asian Drivers Tour. Check out our new promo video!!!!

We're releasing a brand new album featuring our drummer Ashley Baier and singer-songwriter Mara Levi. Check out our sneak preview here:

Hi Melissa I think you are very gifted songwriter, and your videos are so well done.
If I still lived in Florida I would love to come see you in May. However I'm am In Syracuse, NY now. My band has dispersed but I continue to promote. Tell me something; what is the best way to go about finding a great video producer like yourself. I need a great video. Yours are so well done. Thanks M Li. This is my band from the 90's. I suppose I need to update my page. Peace girl.
