Melo B Jones is a 20-something year old singer/songwriter living and creating music in the vibrant city of Johannesburg. We have all been waiting for Melo B Jones’ debut, now Jozi’s queen of Boom Bap Soul has delivered her EP ‘The Start’, which is available here via Stay True Sounds https://itunes.apple.com/za/album/the-start-ep/id1214621781
After her appearance on X Factor back in 2014, Melo has been busy crafting her sound, performing everywhere from Braamfontein to Switzerland and featuring on work by some of South Africa’s favourites: from Crazy White Boy to Ill Skillz and Kid Fonque & D-Malice’s new rkls project. This is just ‘The Start’ for Melo, who is at the beginning of a career and doing what she loves, soul singing!
Her music is a blend of her childhood musical influences, her life and all that she loves in one. This all comes together to form what she categorises as “Boom Bap Soul” – which takes the raw elements of old school and contemporary Hip Hop and puts it together with the sweet and sultry elements of Soul.
In late 2014, she entered the first season of The X Factor SA and excelled all the way to the judges’ houses (just before the live shows) as a member of a group called Faith. Oskido (Kalawa) had singled her out as one to watch.
As a passionate performer and entertainer, she just wants to sing and share her music with the world – and that’s exactly what she plans to do.
