Melina is a singer-songwriter and musician born in Montreal, Quebec, with a passion for music that has carried her through since her childhood. Coming from a musical family, she is immersed in music at a very young age and develops her musicality rapidly. Beginning at the age of four taking classical piano lessons, including a few years at the music school Vincent d’Indy, she then proceeds to take singing lessons when reaching adolescence. It is also then that Melina starts writing her own songs more seriously, accompanying herself with her guitar.
She also joins her high school A Capella group and performs in Washington, New-York and Toronto through an international contest. A passion that soon becomes a vocation; her talent and determination leads her to complete the pop music program at Cegep Marie-Victorin. Throughout her college studies, Melina gets noticed by a large audience by joining the 2014 popular TV show La Voix (The Voice Quebec) where she makes it to the quarter finals with the public’s vote. Melina then releases a first EP in 2017 of her first french songs and also an English bonus track titled ”Hope” that becomes the turning point of her career. Melina starts recording her first full length album at the Studios OPUS in l’Assomption, QC.
Offering a contemporary pop universe with a touch of gospel and soul, Melina offers herself in complete vulnerability, her voice warmer and more striking than ever, through gripping lyrics and melodies so catchy they will stick to your head for a long time. The singer-songwriter knows how to ally force and vulnerability and offers her songs to listeners with irrevocable authenticity. Her album ”Revival” is an hymn to the artist that she has become throughout her twenties, and the one she wishes to be for years to come. The album’s strength resides in its thoughtful and organic arrangements as well as its high quality recording, attesting the long and devoted artistic research which lead Melina exactly where she wanted to go artistically.
Her goal : heal people with her voice and songs.
”Revival” is the artist’s first full length album, of which she signs both lyrics and musics in its entirety, produced by Jacques Roy and recorded at the Studios OPUS.
