Melanie Hardage is a native of Hattiesburg, MS but spent the past 8 years in the Northeast quadrant of the country.  Returning to her southern roots meant exploring and pursuing a new avenue of singing, songwriting, and sharing with others. 

Melanie is a classically trained pianist and a piano instructor by trade, teaching private piano lessons for the past 13 years both in her home in parts of Mississippi, Rhode Island, New York, and at the Rosehill Music Academy in Thornwood, NY.  However, her drive and passion has become creating music that flows out of the circumstances of life. 

Melanie is working on recording her first album of original music.
