Album Notes

At just eight years of age, Melissa Axel was writing songs about the bittersweet journey of life, love, struggle, and inspiration—and not much has changed since. This proverbial "girl and a piano" follows in the heady footsteps of fellow redhead Tori Amos's early work, fusing a myriad of contemporary influences with her own strengths as a singer/songwriter to transform life experience and emotion into songs that express the fear, joy, pain, and love that connect us all.

Axel studied at Boston's renowned Berklee College of Music and went on to earn her master's degree in Interdisciplinary Arts. She was awarded a 2008 scholarship to WOMAD Summer School (World of Music and Dance founded in 1980 by Peter Gabriel) in the UK, where she studied songwriting with Belfast troubadour Andy White and African music with N’Faly Kouyaté of Afro Celt Sound System. Axel is currently recording her first full-length album, on the heels of 2009's EP Transition.
