My goal—as an artist, as a songwriter, as a singer, as a person—is resonance.
Touch and be touched. Move and be moved.
Music, at its very core, is a conversation.
My songs—centered on themes of love, humanity, and metamorphosis—seek the chance to open a dialogue.
Wow, Jonathan, thank you so much! So excited to hear your reactions, we really appreciate you posting them. More to come soon! :)
1st time listening my mouth literally hit the floor. I am blown away. Funding this project for a friend, I really had no idea what I was backing. WOW! And I'm a tough critic. I've listened to both tracks 20x each. I LOVE IT.
Yay, thank you!!!
Melissa, having heard "The Worth of Things" in its primary stage, I am so proud and excited for you. The songs are beautifully done & I'm so impressed with "Every Place is Home." May your future be bright & filled with love and more music. Love you so much.

Hi Melissa, I know time is short but I am praying for a New Year Miracle for you. I can't wait. Love, and all the best. Winsome
You, too, Brigitte! Thanks so much for supporting us, I look forward to seeing you again at the next songwriter's expo and making some time to co-write! :) xo
Pleasure meeting you Melissa and James- friendly and unique talent!
I have a fever... and the only prescription... is more tuba!
3 out of 3 babies LOVE Modern Tuba! And 3 out of 3 wombs containing babies agree! :)
Regarding the below comment: I am not referring to John's womb, as he doesn't possess one.
The baby has to listen to SOMETHING quality while waiting around in that womb, John!
Good luck! I can't wait to hear the album!
The tuba IS sublime!!! :)
It's been a long time coming! I am very excited about this release. The piano sounds gorgeous, the strings are beautiful, the drums & percussion rock hard in all the appropriate places, and the tuba is sublime...
Thanks so much for your support!!! :) xoxo
Best of luck Melissa !
Love your latest update letter and the picture!
Goergeous strings arrangement on Update #3! Makes me hungry for the album! Keep up the good work, Melissa and James!
Fascinating to watch - wish I could have been there live. Happy vocal recording!
YOU Inspired us to support you. We are so proud of you! Good Luck!
Yay, thanks you guys!!! :)
Got to support a fellow pianist! All the best, Melissa! I'm doing the same thing for my debut record. Looking forward to hearing your new stuff!!!

$60 bucks. Rock & roll & merry x-mas. This was going against my wanting to donate $42 but I've got a huge ego so I want to be credited. Blackout AKA Michael Biggins. Good luck!
