Melina,
Saw you for the first time in some Westport restaurant (Moon bay?)

It was fantastic. So glad I bought your CD that night. I listen to it all the time.

God Bless you!

Hello, Meilna. I noticed your song and your voice for the first time at the mall today. It took a while to figure out whose voice it was and what was the tiltle of the song, but I thought it was a miracle, your seventy years.
I love your songs, and I am ordering your book today at Amazon.
Thank you for beautiful music! You have definitely reached my heart.

Ahhhhh! You are a breath of fresh air. Love your Bio. I am listening to your music and will definitely buy your CD. You remind me of, and please take this as a high compliment, of Jimmy Needham.
You seem to have an affinity for the strings. And why not? They accent the voice in a way that is like a couple who dance by instinct knowing the others moves.
Well I will continue being inspired by your groove and respond by writing good things to share with others. www.maxafication.net. Check it out sometimes.
Blessings on your life and craft!

I Melina,
My name is Valerie Lemon,I lived in New York City for over 20 years and, now I live in New Rochelle which is about 30 minutes from there. I just heard about you from my cousin Fred Doughty. I am a professional singer myself and I was curiuos so I went on your site. You are absolutely wonderful and i would love to sing some of your songs if that is possible. I also would like to buy your CD. My website is www.valerie lemon .com You should come to NYC and do a run at some of the Cabarets. I am sure everyone would be crazy for you! All the best and I look forward to hearing from you,Valerie

Hi,Meilna. I noticed your song and your voice for the first time at the mall today. It took me a while to find out whose song it was and what the tiltle of the song was but I miraculously found it was your Seventy Years.
I really love your songs and I am ordering your album to Amazon today.
Thank you for making beautiful music! You have definitely reached my heart.

Hi, Melina,
I am a singer/songwriter too, and just happened to come across your name, so I checked out your music, and it's great, so I wanted to tell you that.
I also teach -- I teach music at an elementary school, and I teach private piano, guitar, and voice. I also played clarinet (passionately!) in high school. Anyway, great voice, great sound. I loved listening. I have some stuff available on cdbaby too!
All the best to you! Happy Holidays!

Hi, Melina. I love your music. I would not have found you except you are my grandson Alec Williams' piano teacher. I hope you think he is as talented as I do, but then I may be a just a little prejudiced. I wish you the best in all your endeavors. You are a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. May God bless you richly.

you can Thank Madeline for introducing me to your Great Music! Madeline and I worked together for the St. Printer for several Years. I still work there and hope to continue until I retire. Both Madeline and I share a love for music and have it in our blood. I married a musician (drummer) who up until a few years ago played with Johnny Lewis Swing band and a few others. All 3 of our kids either make a living either performing or teaching music. My middle son www.nickmolenda.com is currently teaching Percussion at University of WA. He also is the Drummer for Carson & Tess Henley - links on his website. Our daughter Deanna also has a beautiful voice and has performed w/ local Theater Groups since she was 9yrs. She's now 17yrs and got a Great Resume. She plans to attend University of WA for a Theater/Music Degree. Has hopes of NY and Broadway...will see! Anyway, We'd love to attend one of your show's. Keep me on your contact list! Good Luck to you and your Singing Career! You are Wonder!

Hi Melina,

Just wanted to drop you a note with a short story. My family & I were at the mall in Oly. getting some phone stuff arranged for my husband. My daughter (8) & I caught up with my husband & son at a kiosk where they'd sent him. A band was playing(sound check)& so we went to check it out. You came up after them a were doing your own sound check. I immediately fell in love with your voice & wished we had time to stay & listen. We didn't. But your CD's were out over at the side so I bought one & have been listening ever since. Did I mention thoroughly enjoying listening? Each time I hear a song I find new things in it. I love how you write & then express it. Beautiful. Thank you. Probably my favorite is "Ruby". Such a departure from the rest but yet it grabbed me & held on tight! So fun to sing along. The rest are all finding their place in my life one song at a time. Smooth, easy, jazzy, bluesy, folksy, fun & real. All rolled into to you. Wow!! I am always impressed by pure talent. I hope you go as far in the music world as you'd like to. It's a tough business. Wishing you all the best.
Sincerely,
Toby

Agree with Donna's comment below: People should catch Melina while they can, before we are all (quite willingly, mind you) paying to see her at expensive venues, which we certainly will be.

Melina, great concerts in Seattle today (Microsoft) and yesterday (Sorrento). Love the direction in which the new music is going; keep it comin! (And come back soon!)

We just heard Melina last night quite by accident in the Hunt Club in Seattle. This little powerhouse has the most amazingly pure voice! What a joy to be in her presence. Watch out for this one - she will go far. And get to one of her intimate live performances right away... before you have to pay $70 to see her at the Paramount some day. :)

Smoking...... Great picture above, I would love to hear more of your work! Maybe on your next cd sing a song like "SMILE"?? I think you would do it justice...
Also Alisha Keys sound you would nail… If you ever need a body guard for a performance I would donate myself and time for you!! Phil

Alicia Nelson

January 22, 2010

So, love the new songs. I should be a better friend and look at your website more often and then I would have heard the songs ages ago. I think my favorite part is the rap... are you on crack? This is so whack.
Actually- I really did like your rap- I still heard your goofiness especially at the end of the rap, I could just picture the face you would have been making at the time.
Hope you are having a fabulous week. Mark is gone for two weeks up on the slope so I am a single woman in the big city! Just me and the moose. Have a super duper weekend!
Love you.

I have a company called Sarka International Inc, in which we provide executive protection or security for events, people and assets.

Also I can listen to you singing all day long, you are awesome.

Thanks, Dave

Hi, Melina,

I just "discovered" you at the concert at SoulFoods in Redmond; will be making a point of seeing you play again. You have a marvelous voice made simultaneously sweet and raw by emotion, passion and soul. You wear a smile that shows you love what you are doing, but I think I detect a hint of pain there, sometimes. I can hardly wait for the next concert (and I will try not to be conspicuously late this time).

- Jeffrey

Hey Melina,

I'm in Seattle and will see you tonight in Redmond!! I may not see you for awhile.......unless you let me book you in Spokane!!! Whoo Hoo!!

Hi Melina!

I just met you tonight listening to your show at The Spotted Cow in Mill Creek. It was so nice to meet you and I'm so happy that I happened upon you!

Like I said before, why are you not signed on a major record label yet?! You have an amazing talent, and I will be telling everone I know about you! Your music is so life giving, encouraging, peaceful, fun, happy, beautiful, and it's obvious that you have the joy of the Lord in your life!

I hope your shows continue to do well, and that you are catapulted into the spotlight sometime soon!

Oh, and here's a few artists that I think you would enjoy, if you don't already know about them: Corinne Bailey Rae, Katie Herzig, Roseanne Cash, Missy Higgins, and Brandi Carlile!

God bless,

Danielle
