Biography

MELD's sound can be described as "UniverSOUL." A cinematic soulful experience, people have likened her to a modern Janis Joplin meets Hiatus Kaiyote. In November 2020 amidst a national election and global pandemic, MELD's debut album "Words of the Water" was released into the world after receiving praise from Forbes, Live for Live Music, The Tennessean, and more. Mastered by Anthony Thogmartin (EarthCry, Papadosio,) and mixed by Paco Cosette (Sturgill Simpson,) the album was sculpted by many talented hands. The album is tied together with a spoken word meditation featuring Amber Lily, Marya Stark, Katie Buxton, Heather Christie, Shira Elias, Alanna Royale, Maureen Murphy, Jess Nolan, and Phantom Vanity. Earnings from this song raise money for ocean cleanup. This release follows her debut EP "H.U.R.T." (Healing Under Rising Truth,) which received nods from Nylon Mag, BTRToday, and more. In the past, MELD has toured with Ayla Nereo, and shared the stage with The Main Squeeze, Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers, Zoogma, Brothers Past, Maggie Rose, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Papadosio, and more.
