Melina Hazewood, a 16-year-old with music flowing through her veins, is taking the world by storm with her powerful voice and inspiring lyrics. Now, at just 16 years old, she is following in her family’s footsteps and making a name for herself with her debut album ‘So The Wind Blows’, released on March 8th, 2023. Drawing comparisons to the likes of Adele, Melina’s sound is a fusion of various influences.
From the 70s French pop of Joe Dassin and Charles Aznavour to the iconic sounds of The Beatles and Liza Minelli, as well as the nostalgia-inducing tunes of Disney and 1930s French artists like Luis Mariano and Charles Trenet. But what truly sets Melina apart is her ability to draw inspiration from the powerful women who have paved the way for her and continue to inspire her. Her debut single, ‘Powerful’, released on the same day as her album, showcases Melina’s stunning vocals and message of empowerment. In her own words, the song is “a tribute to the universal power of women, reminding them of their worth and unique capabilities”. The accompanying music video, shot in black and white for a timeless feel, sees Melina exploring the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, surrounded by the Queens of France.
Born near Paris to a French mother and English father, Melina’s music is a representation of her multicultural upbringing. Last year, she participated in The Golden Voices International Singing Contest in Cannes, where she won both the Best Singer-Songwriter award and the Coup de Coeur du Jury. Melina is now setting her sights on the UK, with plans to tour in the new year. Audiences across the country will have the opportunity to witness her talent and experience her powerful performances live. In the meantime, fans can listen to her music on all platforms and watch her music video for ‘Powerful’ on YouTube. Melina Hazewood is not just a child prodigy, but a rising star in the world of music. With her debut album and powerful message, she is set to make her mark and leave a lasting impact on the industry. So let the wind blow and listen to the powerful voice of Melina Hazewood, a true inspiration for women of all ages. https://open.spotify.com/artist/7mVauMxCyS2MshwOLye70E
