Band Members: Melanie Martel was born on February 9th, 1977 in Fall River, Massachusettes (though she was raised mostly in south Florida). She knew at age 8 that she wanted a career in music.
In 2002 She relocated to Nashville,Tn to try and land a recording deal. Melanie's powerful voice, passion for life and love of music enabled her to make a living solely performing acoustically and with her band for 5 years in the heart of downtown Nashville,Tn. Melanie Martel has entertained numberous locals and visitors alike in Nashville for many years. She has performed on stages that legends were discovered on and has shared the stage with artists such as Kid Rock, Jamie O'Neal, Big & Rich, Mark Wills, Poison, Rascal Flatts, Edwin McCain, Tanya Tucker and many more. She has worked with some of the most accredited musicians and writers Nashville has to offer.

She is currently working on writing, recording and filming new material with fiance/producer Rikki Rockett .
