Hello, my name is Melissa. I'm from Los Angeles, California. But I live in Liberty MO for a while, and now I live in MN. I moved to many places in my lifetime so far . . . and it's been a great experience. Maybe it's just apart of who I am;-S I am a crazy, fun loving, incredible, caring, sweet, artistic, musical, and a down to earth kind of girl. I love art and music a whole lot . . . so hopefully I do something amazing in both. You just never know what might happen. Right now I am going to school to become a graphic designer. So wish me luck on that:-) I also do some freelance work for others when I have the time. I've been playing the guitar for a few years now and I am still forcing myself to improve each year. So far I've written a song with my friend Phil, from South Wales. The song is called "Across the Stars". I did the words with his help on the music side of the song. I really hope to do more collaboration on songs with him the future. But so far I've written some of my own songs on the side. I'm not sure if they’re any good but a great musician once told me: "The trick to writing a song is to write a lot of them. That means you can write about anything you want. A good way to start is by coming up with a song title and seeing where it leads you." So, with that said, I am doing my best when it comes to writing music. Feel free to talk to me, or take a look at some of the artistic things I love to do that is shown on my layout page. One more thing, if you don't know me. I am a very, very, very huge Semisonic fan. And I love anyother work those guys do.
