   About melissa reiner
 
Violinist Melissa Reiner consistently brings distinctive style to a wide-ranging array of multi-genre music industry performances. Classically trained since age three, she earned a Bachelor of Music degree from Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University, studying with renowned teachers like Shirley Givens, Juilliard Quartet founder Earl Carlyss, and Dorothy DeLay. But it was her passion for music outside the confines of the classical world that brought her to Los Angeles in 1998, where she has since collaborated with numerous celebrity pop artists and highly regarded film composers. Highlights from her unconventional career include: performing as solo violinist for David Lee Roth in several music videos and recordings; playing at the Grammy Awards with the Backstreet Boys; serving as featured soloist in the J. Paul Getty Museum of Art's "Departures" film exhibit; and participating in two tours of Japan with the Percy Faith Orchestra. Melissa has performed on three continents with a show schedule that has taken her from Aspen to London; Taipei to Frankfurt; Milan to Tokyo; and Paris to Moscow. She has made numerous appearances on MTV, the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards, and the Tonight Show with a diverse range of artists, including Destiny's Child, Train, Shaggy, and Il Divo. Other collaborators include: The Bangles, Brian McKnight, Dishwalla, *NSYNC, and Mariah Carey. She can also currently be heard on numerous albums, jingles, and films, including the acclaimed 2005 film "Pretty Persuasion," for which she served as violin consultant.

Melissa is also a songwriter, arranger and lyricist. She has written string arrangements for singer/songwriter Joshua Radin, which were premiered on national television (Jimmy Kimmel Live and the Carson Daly Show) and has been writing and producing songs with various other artists.

Melissa just finished touring (July-September 2008) as the lead violinist for the highest-grossing tour of the summer, the Jonas Brothers "Burnin' Up" Tour. She is honored to perform in the 3-D movie of the "Burnin' Up" Tour, which will be released in January 2008.

She is also excited to announce the iTunes release of her first solo album, "Great Love Constant Thought". Please check out www.melissareiner.com for a complete listing of credits and a more comprehensive bio.

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?'

The stock boy answered, 'No ma'am, they're dead.'
