Melanie Bell
This is a few of the insiders view of what lies within and without.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I ve been playing and writing since I was fourteen. I am dedicated to creating music. I can tell you this will be a life long commitment.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
yes. I am looking into playing locally here in Athens this Spring 2009
Your musical influences
I like diversity. I like melody, punches, grime, guts, and pure instrumentals.
What equipment do you use?
I really enjoy unplugged music because the sound has no binding to alteration with technology. You really have to work for it. I have a variety of string instruments and I use a Boss 16 track digital recording studio.
Anything else?
My music has taken me from bluegrass to hip-hop and left me at soulful strummin'. I will always have that, with fame or not, it has saved my life and I am grateful for that.
