"Melody Rose attributes her unique vocal and songwriting style to her various musical upbringings. The daughter of a singer and a music industry executive, she spent her childhood in the studio, or backstage at Madison Square Garden, observing the inner workings of the world of Rock & Roll. Her operatic training and vocal jazz training surpass a decade. Upon receiving her M.A. in music composition, Melody continued to work on her craft as a singer-songwriter, and subsequently released her debut, self-titled album in 2015. Melody’s live performances have taken her to Europe and to various music conferences and festivals along the east coast. She is currently performing as a member of the Manhattan Band for Norwegian Cruise Lines. Music Magazine UK raves, “Soul is definitely one thing that Melody has no shortage of, and you’ll be sure to listen again and again to gain an insight in to this young up-and-coming artist.” Stay tuned as Melody Rose plans the release of her sophomore album, ‘Inside the Skies.’ "
