Born in Texas and a loyal Austin resident, Melissa has traveled the world solo-style since 1998.
She picked up the guitar at age 16, eyes set for the stage. Her passion for music is the driving force behind all her endeavors, which include several volunteer efforts in the community.

Melissa infuses her effervescent energy into her songwriting, which radiates her spiritual foundation and boundless, unconditional love of life. Her first live gig, debuting original lyrics and music, was at age 19 in Austin at the Hole in the Wall. After numerous solo gigs, she formed a band called Stellary, who debuted in the summer of 2001. The band changed drummers and its name to Significant Digits in the fall of 2002. Significant Digits played several Austin venues, including Antoneís, Stubbís, Emos and Room 710. Significant Digits released their album, titled Bird, in October 2003.

She has since released a full-length record, which she produced and engineered in her home recording studio. The Solo-Style album was independently released in August 2004.
She has released two 'Solo-Style' music videos, produced by Manmade Media, which are available for viewing on her website, as well as ME TV (Austin), Mania TV (Denver, CO), and Absolute Indie (NYC).

Elements of PJ Harvey and Melissa Etheridge, plus years of growing up on classic rock and pop have all inspired and influenced me to form my own brand which I call 'Solo-Style'.
I am thrilled to be exploring the Solo-Style, which showcases my songwriting and continues to share the love that comes from creating.

I am currently working on new material for a record to be released in Summer 2006 along with gathering musicians to play on the record and live sets.
