The Official Biography

Melissa Kate is an international recording artist with TM International and Van Taylor Production. She is also a stage and voice actress, writer, poet, director, bandleader and children's educator. In 1998 she earned her BFA in Musical Theater and within the year had co-founded the non-profit theater company Cobblestone Productions, Inc. which produced new theater works and East Coast premieres in New York City. Several of her on-stage performances include prominent roles in Falsettos, The Crimson Thread, Into the Woods, The Tempest and many original works.

Melissa became lead Jazz/Swing vocalist for The Yalloppin Hounds in 2000. Three years later, she was signed to an artist-development contract with Van Taylor Production, touring internationally with his band Taylor Made Jazz. International travel became a vital part of Melissa's make-up, and her own band, The Melissa Kate Project, will continue the tradition of serving our troops overseas through the Armed Forces Entertainment. She simultaneously began working with The George Scott Big Band, and became a member of the Colored Musicians Club.

Melissa has always been passionate about sharing the arts with youth. She studied and trained with the Lincoln Institute's Arts in Education of WNY branch, Community Action Organization, Lancaster Opera House's inner-city outreach program and with Young Audiences of WNY, where she currently maintains several projects and residencies in poetry/literacy, the Erie Canal, and music. Her newest pet project is The Benched Players, a troupe which uses the medium of theatrical improvisation to reach out to young children and engage their creative and critical thinking skills.

She has written and recorded an album titled Blind Faith, continues to serve our men and women overseas with powerful entertainment, and is completing several writing projects including a one-woman play and two children's books. Melissa believes the arts are our catalyst for opening the minds of audiences and children worldwide.
