Melody's first love has always been music and began singing and
song writing at the age of seven when her family bought her a guitar.
She took dance and drama lessons in her home town of Nottingham
and at the age of sixteen won a place at Laine Theatre Arts, Epsom
on a three year Musical Theatre course. On leaving college she went
straight into professional theatre singing and dancing alongside
Wayne Sleep and Lorna Luft. Since then she has enjoyed an extensive
career in theatre and TV for over twelve years appearing in West End shows such as
Barry Manilow’s Copacabana, Smokey Joe’s Café, Summer Holiday and more recently
the touring version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Other credits include: Lilly St Regis in Annie - UK tour, Oh what a night! - Hammersmith
Apollo, Rat Pack - UK tour, Sunset Boulevard – Germany, Stars of the Musicals - Kula
Lumpur, Magic of the Musicals - UK tour, Hollywood and Broadway - UK tour, Musical
Highlights – Denmark, The Generation Game – ITV, Talking Telephone Numbers –
BBC and Blackpool – BBC.

Melody has recorded two musical albums ‘Copacabana’ and ‘Stars of the Musicals’ which
were recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London. She also works regularly as
a session singer recording vocals for P&O Cruises.

On moving back close to her home town of Nottingham, Melody loves to spend quality time
with her 1 year old son Miles as well as writing music – ‘I like my music to have a pop
feel with lots of lyrics but a dance quality in the beat and bass line’.

Melody loves the excitement of live performance and is pleased to be singing with the
Band U-No-Hoo!
