About Me
My name is Erin Freeman and I'm from Maryland. When Melissa found me on myspace I was totally blown away by her beautiful voice. It's hard for me to believe that as big as she is, she is so sweet and down to earth. I've noticed that she has a very loyal following and now I'm jumping on that loyalty train. There's plenty of room -- so jump on!!

lissa Suzanne did not plan on becoming a
professional singer. She did not dream as a child of
being on stage and performing to millions of fans. She
was not looking to be famous. She believed that her gift was working with children. But by the age of 13, her voice improved so rapidly that she understood her destined career path had changed. A perfectionist and a high achiever even at this early age, she knew that if she could not be one of the best, she would not even pursue a career in music. So Melissa began recording, writing songs and training her voice with the undying faith, determination and knowledge
that she would achieve that goal.
