“Melody is one of the best young tribute artists in the country. Her dedication to her impersonation is second to none. 100% entertaining and mesmerizing.”
Greg M Thompson/Producer of The Sunburst Convention of Celebrity Impersonators
MELODY MENDIS IS AN INSPIRED AND VERSATILE VOCALIST, TRIBUTE ARTIST AND VOICE INSTRUCTOR. SHE PERFORMS A TREMENDOUS RANGE OF MUSIC INCLUDING, JAZZ, R&B, POP, BLUES, INTERNATIONAL SONGS AND EFFORTLESSLY SOARS THROUGH HER ENTIRE RANGE AND BELTS WITH EXTREME ATHLETICISM.
CURRENTLY, SHE IS FOCUSING ON HER BARBRA STREISAND AND LADY GAGA TRIBUTE SHOWS!
MELODY HAS TWO SOLO ALBUMS AND THE FIRST IS, “LOVE & MADNESS,” IT FEATURES CREATIVE COVERS OF NEW WAVE, DARK WAVE AND POP. THE SECOND IS TITLED, “WANDERLUST” WHICH HAS A SMOOTHER JAZZY VIBE AND CAN BE FOUND ON CD BABY.
SOME NOTABLE PAST PERFORMANCES INCLUDE SINGING AS BARBRA AT CAMP CABARET, A CABARET DEBUT AT THE L’AUPIN AGILE CABARET IN PARIS, TOURING ENGLAND AND COMPETING AT THE EISTEFFODD MUSIC FESTIVAL IN WALES, AND A TOUR THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA. MELODY WAS HONORED WITH A NOMINATION TO ATTEND THE PRESTIGIOUS YALE CABARET CONFERENCE WHERE SHE WORKED WITH CABARET LEGEND JULIE WILSON AND MANHATTAN TRANSFER VOCAL ENSEMBLE FOUNDER LAUREL MASSE.
AFTER YEARS OF SINGING IN BANDS WITH OTHER ARTISTS AND DOING SHOWS, MELODY PUT OUT A SOLO ALBUM, ”WANDERLUST” AND IT HAS BEEN GETTING VERY GOOD REVIEWS NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. YOU CAN EXPECT IT TO BE MORE OF WHAT SHE DOES SO WELL- SMOOTH AND VELVETY JAZZY POP, BUT WITH THAT SPECIAL MELODY TWIST, ADDING AN EXTRA EDGE WHICH MAKES THE MUSIC A LITTLE MORE THAN JUST CLASSIC. IT MAKES IT FUN. THE ALBUM IS A CARNIVAL RIDE OF HIGHS AND LOWS, TAKING YOU ON A JOURNEY OF LOVE, LUST, AND HEARTACHE. AND ONCE IT’S OVER, YOU’LL WANT TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. AND IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING, NO, MELODY IS NOT HER STAGE NAME. IT’S REAL. SOME THINGS ARE JUST MEANT TO BE.
