<div><strong>About Melissa</strong>
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Raising Funds</strong>
</div>
<div>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.

<div><strong>A Note from the Team</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Special Moment</strong>
</div>
<div>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.
</div>
<div>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.
