Tip the Artist

Artist Bio

Hi! Welcome to my StageIt platform where you can experience live, online concerts all from the comfort of your... well, wherever you're at! Here, I'll be performing some of my favorite songs (I love old jazz standards!) as well as self-penned originals... jazz to pop, maybe some country, but always in my "Southern SPitfire" style! I even occasionally take requests if I'm confident I won't butcher the song! The main point of this is to reach out beyond geographic limitations and get to know you all better as you get to know me!

My latest release (aside from "The Christmas Song" which is a FREE download from my website) is a live album called "In the House" and it showcases some of my favorite jazz/soul tunes to perform as well as my song, "Dirty Little Secret". And I'm already in the studio working on MORE releases for 2024!
You can find my music on all streaming platforms as well as my official website, www.MelissaEllisMusic.com.

How do "Notes" work (for those of you new to this): 1 note = 10 cents, 10 notes = $1, 100 notes = $10, $1,000 notes = $100, etc.

I appreciate your love and support!
