Melanie Martinez biography

Melanie Martinez is a multi-Platinum, 12 billion-streaming alt-pop phenomenon. PORTALS marks the 27-year-old NYC-born singer-songwriter-filmmaker’s first full-length release in nearly four years following her 2 billion-streaming, RIAA Gold-certified second album, K-12.

K-12 proved a sensation upon its release, entering the Billboard 200 at #3 with further debuts at #1 on the Alternative album chart, and #1 on the Soundtrack album chart. Hailed by Forbes as “a perfect conceptual album in the streaming age,” K-12 also serves as a soundtrack companion to an eerily enchanting musical film written, directed, and starring Martinez. K-12 the film debuted as the 6th highest grossing film in the US on the day of its September 3, 2019 theatrical release, with one-night-only screenings in over 425 cinemas in 32 countries.

Martinez truly set forth on what has proven a remarkable creative journey with her 2015 debut album, CRY BABY. CRY BABY took on a stunning second life in 2020 when the longtime fan-favorite “Play Date“ exploded into a true alt-pop sensation with millions of user-generated videos across TikTok. Now boasting over 1 billion worldwide streams along with 2x RIAA Platinum certification, “Play Date” propelled CRY BABY back onto the upper half of the Billboard 200 more than five years after its initial release. Named to Forbes’ “30 Under 30 2021” thanks in part to the renewed success of “Play Date,” Martinez has brought her idiosyncratic vision to an array of diverse enterprises, including last year’s instantly sold-out collaboration with footwear brand Koi. In addition to her myriad musical and visual efforts, Martinez has also shown herself to be an unforgettable live performer via sold-out headline shows and festival performances around the planet.

Live reviews

After seeing her on the voice, naturally I became a fan of hers, her voice is stunning and has this sort of gentle, dark vibe, how could I not become a fan.

From New York, USA. Melanie Martinez has a unique sound to her, with her debut released EP titled 'Dollhouse' I have begun to like the sound in which she is putting out there, it is very different. Her sound at the moment appears to be dark and have a touch of emotion to it such as the song 'Bittersweet Tragedy' it comes across as emotional but the chords being played are minor but the way it all comes together it invokes emotion and a hint of terror as the gentle vocals and lyrics soar along the beat.

When Melanie took to the stage everybody roared, she sounds just as good live as she did on the television screen, when she performed 'Dollhouse' the entire audience sang the chorus along with her, this is really good to see because it shows she has already gained herself a strong following! She is absolutely beautiful on the stage, refusing to remain stationary, she moves around naturally and it is not even awkward. She is simply a natural!

Melanie Martinez will be a global act in a matter of years and to that I praise it but I also say buy tickets now while they remain friendly and not sold out!
