She is a classically trained pianist with a Bachelor of Music from McGill University in Montreal and an ARCT from the Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto.

She can be seen and heard performing in various Montreal area venues, with occasional appearances in places like Toronto, Ottawa and New York. A member of SOCAN, Melina has filmed four official music videos, the first two of which are based on songs from her debut album entitled City of Love, the third one is based on a song from her first full-length album Hold On, while the forth one is based on a song from her latest album (currently still in production), Dark Fairytales.
