Ms. Melanie Rutherford, born with golden vocals, is affectionately referred to as "Mel". She is a songtress-extraordinaire. Mel brings it to you straight and raw, but always from the heart. Born and raised in the suburbs of Motown (i.e. The D, The Motor City), Mel has that sultry and unique voice that acts as food for the soul. Her lyrics act to retell her life story or stories, and also to soothe and comfort the heart and souls of others with the smoothness of Rhythm and Blues and the most perfect and appropriate pinch of funk. Having also written for artists such as Kem, Mel has the creativity to make magic. To Mel, it's all about creating real classic R & B music, aimed at soothing souls. Mel leaves the final say to rest with you "the fans". So judge for yourselves. There's certainly more to come, but only if you say so.
