Katy, Texas-raised singer-songwriter Melanie M Scheiber launched her new pop music project my friends call me Mel in April 2021.  Releasing new music every few months into 2021 and beyond, mfcmM’s musical approach is inspired by wanting her songs to feel like a friend—music that encourages and empowers, creating a sanctuary of sound for the heavy and light moments of life.

From a young age, music has always been a place where mfcmM understood her emotions and let her imagination run wild. As a child, mfcmM’s love and talent for music came naturally to her—she fondly recalls making up storylines for characters she would draw, giving them each their own theme songs, and even penning a song for her older brother who left for the military.

That passionate creativity and love for music garnered mfcmM not only a degree in Songwriting from prestigious Belmont University, but also a wealth of experiences and musical adventures in Music City itself, Nashville, TN.  Those experiences then led to another relocation to the great plains of Nebraska where she was hired as the first female worship leader at Citylight Church. Here, she was able to write original songs AND to empower women to take leadership roles—two things close to her heart.   

As a military wife, life has now found mfcmM in the beautiful paradise of O’ahu, Hawai’i. Among the beaches and mountains, she is creating her latest original music. Working with Texas Music producer, Stephen Hall, mfcmM continues to find her greatest inspirations through coming of age stories and the sounds of musicians such as Falcon, Holly Humberstone, Maggie Rogers, Lauv, Ashe, HAIM, and Ingrid Michaelson.
