Favourite film:
Hercules - Favourite childhood film, about achieving your dreams (e.g. the song 'I can go the distance'). Influenced and encouraged the artist to persevere in order to achieve in their music career.
Another non-disney favourite is Role models. But she cant resist a good horror film.

Hobbies:

Going out with her friends to live gigs.

Inspirations:
She was continuously inspired by the artists who were able to almost swap genres in opportunities such as Radio 1's live lounge, for example an acoustic band would be able to perform an D'n'B song and completely make it their own and make it sound incredible and unique again. After Melinda had decided that a career in a band set up was not for her, she determined her own style and genre (indie/rock/acoustic) and practiced covering her favourite songs from other genres and peforming them in her style instead. Her favourite cover of hers to perform is 'The Prodigy - Take me to the hospital'. Her latest ispirations are Ed Sheeran, for his acoustic music that he has written himself, she also feels that she can relate to Ed Sheeran as he too had to work hard to achieve in his music career. Melinda now writes her own music and finds this very fulfilling.
