About Melanie Massell & Company

With her comically lascivious wink and outstanding musical delivery, Melanie has the gift to entrance and enchant you. Referred to as the little lady with the big voice, her range is so broad she handles most any style from smooth and sultry to showstoppers.


Professional and proficient, she performs as a Solo, Duo, Trio or with full size (Jazz and/or Variety Dance) bands (Melanie Massell Music; Melanie Massell & Company; Hot Item). She has performed as a guest vocalist with International R&B recording artist Oleta Adams, and opened for Chris Botti, David Sanborn, and Jennifer Holiday.


With thousands of performances under her belt, Melanie was nominated “Outstanding Jazz Artist” and “Best Jazz Act”. She holds a Guinness Book of World Records title as a performer in the “World’s Longest Concert by Multiple Artists” in 2010. Included among the 100+ Jazz musicians in the “Jazz of the City Atlanta 2007” photograph for Jazz 91.9 WCLK FM’s Listen Up Campaign, Melanie takes pride in successfully charming crowds all over the world.
