About Melissa
Melissa Coleman is a soulful, gritty singer-songwriter whose music blends rock, soul, and blues into a sound that is raw, real, and unforgettable. Raised in Philadelphia, she grew up surrounded by a wide range of influences — from the classical brilliance of Mozart to the grunge power of Soundgarden. Music became her voice and her escape, as she filled journals with lyrics that carried her truth.
After studying Architecture for five years, Melissa answered the undeniable call to pursue music full-time. Now, she’s stepping into her solo career with a bold new chapter — recording and releasing three professionally produced songs that capture her voice, her story, and her journey.
Why We’re Raising Funds
Recording at a professional studio is the next milestone in Melissa’s career. To capture her sound with the quality it deserves, we are raising $20,000 to cover 3 songs that will be studio recorded and fully mixed.
Breakdown Per Song:
Professional musicians & engineering
• Drums $200
• Base $200
• Guitar (1) $300
• Guitar (2) $300
• Keys $500

How You Can Help
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings this dream closer to reality. By supporting this GoFundMe, you’re not just funding songs — you’re making the music possible.
A Note from the Team
Melissa’s artistry has been shaped by award-winning producer Julian Sundby at The Fort Studio in Fort Myers, FL, and enriched through collaborations with Josie Music Award-nominated musician Matt Chadwick. With your support, she’ll be able to share her sound with the world in a way that is as professional as it is authentic.
A Special Moment
Melissa will also be performing a pre-release show at the Fort Myers Theater October 4th, 2025 — an intimate 100-seat event that marks the first step in sharing these songs live. Fans will get early access to VIP tickets and updates as we move toward that big night.
Fans will also receive an invitation to an exclusive VIP post-show celebration at Point Ybel Brewery, hosted by Melissa as a personal thank-you for their support.
