Just before the performance

Mélanie comes from a very musical family and has been singing since she could make a sound. As a young girl, she was part of the Northwest Girlchoir and sang many solos in her school productions. As an adult, she sang for the Living Cross, the Singing Christmas Tree and Victorian Country Christmas. In 2009, she joined Andrew T. Miller’s Birth of Christ production at the Basilica di Santa Maria in Ara Coeli Festival di Pasqua in Rome, Italy. She sang and played drums for the praise teams of All Saints’ Lutheran Church and Kent Unity Church, is learning to play the ukelele, and occasionally sings the National Anthem for local games and events.
