Melina Malone

Dublin-born Irish-Greek artist Melina Malone is quickly becoming one of the most exciting voices in neo-soul. Praised for her powerhouse vocals and emotive songwriting, Melina has carved out a unique space for herself with her debut album Aphrodite (October 2023). Drawing from iconic neo soul stars Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, alongside modern artists like Lianne La Havas and RAYE – her sound is a captivating blend of honest lyrics, sultry melodies, and an eclectic mix of genres. Since the release of Aphrodite, Melina has made waves in both the Irish and international music scenes. She opened for Grammy-winning jazz legend Gregory Porter at his sold-out Cork Opera House show and has shared stages with iconic acts like Macy Gray and Morcheeba. Her breakout year also saw her perform at Ireland Music Week, receive a stunning 9/10 album review from Hotpress Magazine, and garner support from BBC Radio 1, RTE 2FM, Notion, Noctis Mag, Today FM and more.
