"Canadian born (June 1st, Calgary) Melanie Dekker is a singer-songwriter whose 'voice like chocolate' is moved to move and entertain you every time. Dekker started performing as a teenager drawn especially to live performers and musically her favourites then were the Police, Madonna, and Joni Mitchell. Now she pens her own hits (including top ten in Canada: "I Said I") and has performed for President William J. Clinton and opened for Diana Krall, Faith Hill & Chaka Khan. Notably Dekker was up for humanitarian artist & video of the year at the LA Music Awards as well. Over Christmas 2009 Dekker sang in Afghanistan to sing for troops, then in 2010 between tours she recorded an uplifting new album called "Here & Now"; the songs carry messages that she pondered throughout her travels. She's performed in Finland, USA, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, The Czech Republic and Canada. She's inspired by writers such as Gordon Lightfoot, John Mayer and Emmylou Harris and she likes to undress the obvious with a mischievous smile and a song. Not just a singer, not just a writer, but a world-class strummer (guitar & banjo); fans often ask her 'how do you do that?!'. And when the sensitive and steamy ballads call for it, her fingers cruise along a piano too." (From her homepage)
