Music is medicine.  Music Meds by Mel is created from this phrase.  Music is an important part of our world.  It’s there for us through everything.  It’s a part of you and your past.  The songs that make you smile, songs that make you cry, songs that make you think/reminisce.  The songs you play when you’re happy, sad, mad, pissed off, in need of encouragement.  The list goes on and on.  

Music Meds by Mel will introduce independent musicians to a larger audience.  There will be no negative music reviews on this website because even though you may not like what you’re listening to, there’s someone out there who does.  Independent musicians put a lot of time, effort, and passion into their craft, so who are we to put down their hard work?  They deserve to have someone out there advocating for them.  This platform will be used to increase exposure for independent musicians all around the world, one review at a time.

Music Meds by Mel is more than a site for music reviews.  I’ll be sharing playlist ideas, writing columns about music, and eventually bringing on guest writers.  I’d like to create a music community not only for the musicians, but the fans of music, too.

“Many years from now...it will not matter what my earthly possessions were.  What will really matter is that I was important in the life of a child.”  As an educator/child care provider, this is something I live by.  This phrase also came to mind when dreaming of the purpose for this website.  If I can help an artist gain at least one more fan then I’ve done my job.
