Melissa – Workshops and Performances

By Hannah Raj on 02/12/2024

Talented singer, songwriter, and actor Melissa brings warmth, heart, and an incredible gift for connection to every room she enters.

Creator of SING4SANE is a powerful mental health initiative that uses the joy of singing to unite people. Her music blends folk blues, jazz, and gospel, creating performances that are as soulful as they are unforgettable.

Melissa's workshops are an experience like no other. Whether it's a corporate away day or a private event, she creates an atmosphere where everyone, from seasoned singers to absolute beginners, feels welcome. Her mantra, "We sing for joy, not judgement," instantly puts people at ease, inviting them to leave their inhibitions at the door and simply enjoy the moment.

Each session is tailored to the group, whether a small gathering of ten or a buzzing crowd of a hundred. Melissa reads the energy in the room, choosing songs that are easy to learn and uplifting to sing. In no time, participants find themselves harmonizing and laughing together. By the end, the room is alive with connection and joy, and everyone walks away feeling lighter, brighter, and more connected to themselves and those around them.

As a performer, Melissa's gift for storytelling captivates her audience. Whether she's singing with her full band, performing a stripped-back acoustic set, or performing just one song, her voice and lyrics resonate deeply. Her performances can be tailored to fit any event, adding a unique, soulful touch to your occasion.

Melissa is also a natural speaker, sharing her experiences with authenticity and compassion. She speaks openly about her journey with music and mental health, weaving in stories of resilience and hope. Her talks, often rooted in her SING4SANE project, are inspiring and thought-provoking, creating a space for audiences to reflect and connect.

Melissa brings something truly unique to every event she's part of. Whether through her singing workshops, live performances, or heartfelt talks, she leaves people feeling uplifted, united, and inspired.
