The Jammin’ Mic Check showcases the best local music in Milwaukee!
M.E.L.
M.E.L was born and raised out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and started singing at the early age of 6 for countless family and community celebrations. Coming from a talented family of musicians, pastors and stylists, Mel knew early on that she would follow in those same footsteps, creating a uniquely different path destined for success.
Deeply rooted in the church, Mel was influenced by many contemporary Gospel artists like Bebe and Cece Winans, Helen Baylor and Yolanda Adams to name a few. Combining her Gospel roots with her love for Jazz and R&B, she has cultivated a custom sound for her vocal abilities and shares it all over the city of Milwaukee.
Mel has collaborated with some of Milwaukee’s best musicians and vocal artists. She has shared the stage with great R&B acts such as Mint Condition and RL from the group Next. Mel has also been singing background for the last 7 years for current BlackStreet member Rodney Poe. In addition, she has done many tributes to R&B legends such as Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Jill Scott and many more.
She is currently working with Grammy nominated producer Chad Roper on her upcoming solo project. Stay tuned!
