Her distinctive and powerful voice has captivated the hearts and minds of countless souls domestically and internationally. In 2009, Melanie released her debut album, “The Bridge”.

The album reached #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and the notable soulful classic “Wrong Side of A Love Song” went on to receive a Grammy Nomination for Best Traditional R&B Performance. Her talent and strength as a songwriter and vocalist caught the attention of Cee-Lo Green, who handpicked Fiona to feature on the feel-good hit “Fool For You”, which would go on to earn the pair two Grammy Awards for Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Song. She is also featured on the Grammy Award Winning Albums "Wake Up" & "Revelation Pt. 1" by John Legend & The Roots, and Stephen Marley, respectfully. Melanie Fiona has toured with several acclaimed artists including Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige and D'Angelo, and often refers to herself as “The Singing Nurse” on stage, uniting the elements of live music and sound healing at her shows and speaking engagements. She has been sought after and solicited by top media companies such as Live Nation and Essence, to bring her uplifting voice and expertise in the areas of meditation and wellness.
