About Melyssa Lee

Singer-songwriter Melyssa Lee from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, can craft any memoir into a poignant or vulnerable song. In early 2023, she released her first single, “Sunflower (acoustic)” about the sudden passing of her close friend’s young son. The song quickly garnered attention, making its way to numerous playlists, podcast interviews, CBC Radio Local Spotlight Feature and community and college radio, with over 45K plays on streaming platforms. She has since released her first full EP, “simply – acoustic compilation” and another single, “Mona’s Song.”

Drawing inspiration from folk roots and the emotive energy of the Lilith era, her songs are a blend of warmth, vulnerability and strength. Lee’s vocals range from tender to soul-stirring crescendos in the style of Sarah McLachlan, Dido, Jewel and Dolores O’Riordan; weaving stories of her parentage, her journey as a parent and her growth as a lover. Through her music, she celebrates life’s ebb and flow, advocating for love, acceptance and understanding amidst our differences.

For Melyssa Lee, songwriting is both a cathartic exploration and a bridge to other souls. By sharing heartfelt music, she aspires to find connection and offer solace and healing.
