Artist description The band consists of Melissa, her keyboard, a computer microphone and some cheap recording software. Plans are in the works for upscaling the group to include a digital mixer, sampling keyboard and a nice shiny new microphone.

Music Style How often can you honestly, and properly use the word unique in the music industry? Try it out on Melissa Babcock's style. It's refreshingly distinct and original.

Musical Influences None that we're concious of.

Similar Artists Well, she doesn't sound like Mariah or Shania or Whitney or Britney. She doesn't sound like anyone really.

Artist History Melissa has been writing music since childhood. She has written several piano sonatas, a concerto, an oratorio, a few musicals, lots of incidential music *yawn*. In 1997 she had a waking dream in which she realized that she wanted to combine her classical skills with her inherited need to perform (both mother and father were performing pop/rock musicians by profession). Which leads us today to the unique blend known as the "Melissah" genre. Also see artist "Melissah" for some of her earliest works.

Group Members Melissa and co-writter Larry Babcock (known to her as Dad).
