Cynthia and Lisette Melendez

Cynthia has been on the scene now for upwards of twenty years. She is one of those very rare singers who most often sings freestyle and somehow it just sort of works. She is of Puerto Rican descent, and began her career at the age of sixteen singing in a group with someone who would later become her freestyle contemporary, an artist called Sa-Fire, who in fact gave Cynthia the opportunity to sing these songs in front of a huge record producer of the time, and two weeks after, she earned herself a contract for MicMac Records.

When she performs live she is utterly captivating with her fantastic chops and her wonderful charismatic stage presence. When she freestyles, it is something pretty special and original, of course sounding as though she has rehearsed this song for weeks before this performance. Some of the biggest moments of the set are when she performs “Change On Me” which she struts around the stage during, and even the song “Endless Night”.
