About Me

As you may have gathered, my name is Melissa :) I'm 19 years old, and I live in the South, currently studying at Southampton University but living in Bournemouth.
I've really only got this profile because for my 16th Birthday, friends of the family Tony and Jane Sweeney bought me a guitar. After a year of occasional practicing, I began to write, my second song being the one that you hear on this page (I hated the first one!)
I never really thought that the songs I have written were worthy of a page on myspace, but a few friends encouraged me, so I gave it a go, and i'm glad I did.
What do I write about? Hmm... People that I love mostly, or people that I did love, or people that in my blonde moments i thought I may have loved but it turns out I didn't actually love them (don't ask), and some funny little childish thoughts that come into my head, i suppose. Yeah, stuff like that. I don't write as many as I would like, I get easily frustrated, but i'm hoping it's because i'm pretty busy at Uni at the moment. I'm looking forward to the summer when I can spend some long lazy days in my back garden, strumming away :)
There are a few more to be recorded yet, so as soon as i've got the opportunity, i'll load them up :)
Thanks for checking out this space :) x
Any comments would obviously be very well recieved, thanks in advance!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 01/03/2008
Band Website: N/A" N/A
Band Members: Haha! Just me, i'm afraid :) But having said that, the one song that is currently on my profile was souped up somewhat by two very dear friends and musicians much better than I, Malianna Madden and Cuan Korsten- so a special thank you here and anywhere else i can fit it :)
Influences: Just about anyone that I like, and the list is just way too long because I like everybody :) Katie Melua and Norah Jones are especially amazing, I love their work. Everybody that sings about something they care about does it for me! Malianna Madden and Cuan Korsten have been a huge inspiration to me, as I know how they work and just how important music is to them :) I couldn't possibly list everyone that I like or have influenced me! Your best option may be to go on all my friends and view the bands that I have added. They are all there because they mean something to me :)
Sounds Like: I don’t know! No-one that I can think of :) Answers on a postcard... Oh! Someone said like Harriett Wheeler from ’The Sundays! And another person said The Little Mermaid. I love them :)
Record Label: Unsigned
