The City Of Brotherly Love Breeds an up and coming R & B diva named Melissa Jay who is blessed with rich and soulful vocals influenced by gospel, R & B and hip hop music. The vibe that she offers is real music that she wants men and especially women to relate to and connect with, full of emotion that reaches out and grabs all listeners.Melissa grew up as an only child singing in the church, she enjoyed singing so much that she realized that it was what she was meant to do. By middle school she began writing her own songs and also songs for a group she had become apart of, the group then began to perform at school and in local talent shows. With both her mother and father being able to sing, they were here number one fans and the driving forces behind her telling her to keep God first and believe, and you will be able to accomplish anything that you put your mind to.Melissa then became apart of a duo called Fe Mel where she then was introduced to Butter a very talented producer from Philly who has worked with many of today's talents including producing the R & B hit "u remind me" by Usher. He told Melissa from day one that she had a unique tone, and he immediately placed the girls in the studio. The duo separated after about a year but Melissa Continued to work as a solo artist this making her more confident and determined to pursue her dreams.After seeing her only daughter graduate from high school, Melissa's mother was diagnosed with cancer and she died a few short years later. Melissa was devastated but even more determined to strengthen her commitment to music and make her mother proud.The now 25 year old singer feels blessed to have had the opportunity to be featured on Beanie Sigel's album titled "The B.Coming" on a song titled "Change" along with R & B singer Rell. Since then so many doors have opened and wonderful opportunities have presented themselves, She is busy in the studio working with many talented songwriters and producers, her good friends Dre and Vidal (Jill Scott) Kay Gee and Balewa (Jaheim/Noel) The Platinum Brothers (Keyshia Cole) Ryan Toby (Usher) and Jonta Austin (Mary J blige) keep your eyes and ears open for this Beautiful young lady with raw talent who is on a mission to the top and with her beautiful, outgoing personality and her dedication and determination we are sure to witness big things from the Philly native!!.. width="425" height="350" ..MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT THE VIDEO TO "CHANGE" BEANIE SIGEL FEAT.
