With a sweet appearance and a powerful voice, Melanie is conquering the world.
The public got to know her in the TV show TheVoice, where she was praised by coaches, among them Adam Levine, who compared her with Björk, but her passion for music started many years before, when she was only 4.
As she herself says: “television helped me because of the exposure from the show, but when I left no one helped me or guided me, I did everything by myself working a lot”. The thing is that Melanie is a true DIY girl and her success has to do with her power and initiative.
“´Dollhouse´ video- which already has 65 million visits- was a fan founding Project and I did it with a group of friends. Once I put it out, I wrote to the record company and then they produced it”, she told in an interview with “Under the Rockies”. That anecdote shows that she is the one that thinks of and designs each chapter of her career, what makes her grow a little bit more day after day.
She has a child like style and in the videos, whose storyboards she writes, she wears doll like make up, but behind that image there are dark and honest stories about life or childhood.
Melanie Martinez is much more than a simple pop Singer. She is a revelation. And with her music comes back to the albums that tell stories and are to be understood as one work of art.
For her debut album, “Cry Baby”, she create the character Cry Baby that, as she says, “is an alter ego, the way to put out insecurities”
With the hair dyed in two colors, as the Disney’ character Cruela de Vil, pastel clothes, and a reminiscence of the fifties and her childhood, that character and all her music have a storyline.
Her style is authentic and the freedom with which she experiments through music attracts thousands of young people, adults and children all around the world.
