Hi! My name is Melissa and I'm a songwriter, performer, and guitarist from New York now residing here in LA.  

I have a unique creative background not only in music, but also in comedy and theatre. I've performed on many stages like Rockwood Music Hall, the Knitting Factory, Bowery Electric, Culture Lab LIC, the Magnet Theater, NJPAC, Jammin Java, the People's Improv Theatre, the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre, and many other random restaurants, bars, backrooms, and private events in NYC and beyond. One time I played all the songs of Phoebe at the Central Perk pop up for a Friends anniversary. I am also a contributing songwriter for The Story Pirates Podcast, an iHeartRadio award winning Kids and Family podcast. 

Feel free to contact me if you need a guitar player for your show, rehearsal, or recording. If you need someone with a great sense of groove and timing - I'm your girl! I'm a quick study, already know a lot of cover songs, and will listen to what you want for your original artist material. I am very flexible on rates, so don't hesitate to get in touch!

Here is some music I've made!
