Melanie Penelope (Melanie Lech) is an alternative singer/songwriter and producer with a splash of indie pop and twang. She's defined by raw, emotive vocals and wistful, sometimes humorous lyrics. She doesn't autotune her vocals.

 

According to listeners, her sound is reminiscent of Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Feist, Billie Eilish, and Florence + the Machine. Audience-favorite tracks are "I Don't Live On Earth." "Hey, Hello," "Reluctantly, I Dig You," and "Escape Me." 

 

She was a winner in the Rizzle App songwriting contest and reached 300k followers before the app was sold to AI overlords (RIP).

​

She typically makes her own music videos, lyric videos, and cover art with microbudgets (or no moolah at all). (Anyone is invited to change that!!!) Shoutout to her awesome friends for helping.

Most of her work is only on YouTube.
