Welcome

"Nothing about what I do is fair. No Matter how thin and pretty you are, there's someone thinner and prettier. No matter how big your range is, there's someone with a bigger range ready to knock you out of the game. I don't do what I do because I love the business, because I don't. It's competitive and cut-throat and I am neither. I do it because I love the feeling I get when I'm on stage; because there's nothing like listening back to a completed song that you wrote. I do it because I am addicted to an emotion and I always will be. My life is music. This is my life." - Melanie Fontana
