Mel Monaco
St. Catherines, Canada

“If you can’t be safe, be spectacular” a phrase setting the tone for Mel Monaco, Canadian singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist.

Starting with Monaco’s early releases, it began with EP “Anything Goes” released July 2012, where the thought of songwriting and performance became a regular thing. Mel and her guitar. Whilst recording the second record “These Are Just Suggestions” released April 2015, Mel found herself writing the likes of “Single Again” which received 2016 Niagara Music Award “Music Video Of The Year” all the while leading Monaco into a whole new direction! Monaco wanted to perform, not just with her guitar.

Moving ahead as an independent artist, Mel captured her fans by releasing annual calendars helping to fund projects for Monaco’s music videos, “Single Again”, “”Hold Me Back” and, “”UNTAMEABLE””.

Continuously going against any tide washing up her way, it wasn’t until Monaco released her first full length album “Falling For The Third Time” on August 19, 2017 that some ears bent, and Monaco truly started seeing the name in lights…Monaco wanted performance to be fun and exhilarating, costumes and glitter. First major break to share this vision was when Monaco opened for Blue Rodeo in August of 2018- Canal Days Port Colborne.

Never slowing her role… it was only later in 2018 that the music video for “UNTAMEABLE” caught some attention, Monaco successfully took home “”Music Video of the Year”” at the Niagara Music Awards in 2018 for “”UNTAMEABLE””, as well as “”Original Group of the Year””.

Wanting to test what might be next- Monaco returned to the studio in 2018 to launch a follow up EP “”Wishing Waiting Floating”” released on November 3rd 2018, as well as her annual calendar, with a new twist for 2019! “”Wishing Waiting Floating”” spun Mel towards her Italian roots, doing her first bilingual track. Looking ahead, Mel intends to release another album in 2019 currently untitled, alongside another music video. Monaco wants people to dance.

Needless to say, keep an eye and ear out for Mel Monaco in 2019. There ain’t no rest for Mel Monaco.
