Melanie Albanese

Hey! I go by Mel.

You might want to call me Squidward because...

I am a bold and brash young individual from New Jersey who, although lacks musical talent, (that is, Guitar Hero drums aside) has had music across all genres invigorate my life.

And I won't shut up about it.

Outside of my hobbies of poetry, painting, and recently rollerblading (exciting!!) I have worn a few different hats in my life, thinking I'd end up pursuing environmental engineering or become a doctor to please my Indian family. But, as rewarding as scientific discovery was, there was something missing. It felt like a chore more than something that I wanted to get out of bed to do.

Lucky for me, I thought, "What is so great about laying in my bed that I don't want to get up?" and I found the answer. Music.

Music discovery was the kind of discovery I loved most. I dedicated hours and hours to learning about the music industry and finding new artists so, here I am.

I study marketing and music industry with interest in going into marketing, A&R, or promotion in the industry. I am an extremely versatile and hardworking force that doesn't stop until I achieve what I aim to.
