Melissa Welch

My name is Melissa Welch, and I’m a 16 yr old girl who lives on the top of a hill in a very boring town in California. At 13, I was interested in creating sounds to play with just to pass the time. Later on, I began music projects with my sister, Stacy, and her boyfriend, James (General Musician). We played with more organic sounds like taps and sighs, and I got into playing with my voice. After becoming familiar with my sound, I started to make music alone in secret, and shyly let it flow out into public. Then, when I got some appreciated recognition, my mom jokingly advised that I make money off of my music. But to me, music is socially recreational, and I only want to share.
