Melia was inspired to begin her music career after going to her first Green Day show during its "American Idiot "tour. She excelled at guitar quickly, practicing 6-8 hours a day. She had always written poems and lyrics and with her first band she began writing music. The summer after graduation she had the experience of a lifetime when she attended another Green Day concert and was chosen by lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, to play guitar for the song "Jesus of Suburbia". Melia recently debuted her 7-song EP, "Soundproof Walls". The music is guitar-driven alternative rock with message laden lyrics that come from her personal experiences or of those close to her. She and her backing band have been playing in upstate NY and played a gig in Hollywood at the famed Viper Room to a very enthusiastic crowd.
