So I've been hearing this song on the radio called "Give It to Me Right" and it has such a nice vibe to it (It's currently the top song on my blog playlist). So living in the information age I researched the artist, Melanie Fiona. SHE'S DOPE. Hence, I feel its my duty to share her and her music with you all.
Melanie Fiona, is a Canadian R&B singer-songwriter from Toronto, Canada. Melanie was born to Guyanese immigrant parents and grew-up in the inner city of Toronto. Living in a music filled household, Melanie Fiona says she always knew music was her passion. Melanie's father was a guitarist in a band and would allow her to sit on the stage when she was younger as he practiced and remembers her mother playing music at home; everything from The Ronettes to Whitney Houston.
In 2002, she was one-third of the (now defunct) Canadian R&B Trio , Xquisite, who gained seldom popularity in Canada for their hit, "No Regrets". The group comprised of Fiona, MTV Canada host, Nicole Holness and Toronto urban artist, Andreena Mill. She left the group in 2003 to break out into other musical ventures.
Melanie Fiona's debut album The Bridgewas released in the Spring of 2009. The debut single "Give It to Me Right" was released to radio stations on February 28, 2009 and has peaked at #39 on Billboard's Canadian Hot 100. Melanie has worked with Future Cut, Vada Nobles, J. Phoenix, Peter Wade and Salaam Remi for her freshman album. Melanie Fiona was featured on 2008's Reggae Gold 2008 with Supa Dups' "Somebody Come Get Me".
Melanie opened for Kanye West during his European Tour in 2008, notable since she still hasn't released an album.
Her album "The Bridge" drops August 18.
