About Melani

After not being able to get into the Music Conservatory School because of her young age, Melani taught herself classical music.

Her newest single O Sole Mío was released this year. The well-known Neapolitan song has previously been performed by artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Alfredo Kraus.
