Q: How easily do songs tend to come to you?
(Melvin) For the most part I seem to always come up with song title first and then I compose the song as it seems to flow out of me as I can really seem it and feel it as it comes to life for film or tv. as I can do up to 8 songs a day or more if I have time.
Q: For our readers who have never heard your music, explain your sound in 5 words?

Q:How does the conversation go when someone pitches the performance to you?
(Melvin) Lately I have been hearing how good or great my music is and I have had a lot of pitches from people wanting my music but I always focus on the bottom line how much do they want from the fee of my music or can I keep pitching it every where I can and not just tied up with them. Most of the time their is no deal because they want most of the fee for my music as you really have to read the deals coming your way as some bad deals could really hurt you and your music moving forward.
Q: Is your family musical?
(Melvin) No none of my family members are musical as it started for me writing a song for my wife when we dated and had it pro demo made and sent it out to radio DJ’s and a Canada DJ like the song gave me lots of radio airplay took me under his wing and got me airplay in lots of other countries as I kept learning music along the way as I keep learning more about making music today.
Q: What are your fondest musical memories? In your house? In your neighborhood or town?
(Melvin) My fondest musical memories so far was tunning into the Canada radio station online and hearing my song for the first time as I could not believe that I wrote it.
Q: Do you perform in public? Describe those occasions? Concerts, radio, TV?
(Melvin) I just do studio music but I have been on the radio many times live via phone interview as they played my music doring the phone interview also. My music had been played on a lot of radio stations worldwide and the list keeps growing. I have been asked to perform live at many occasions with my new music but at this time I’m just sticking to doing studio music.
Q: Do you attend sessions? What makes a good session?
(Melvin) Yes I always attend every studio sessions my music is being played in as I help oversee it at every step. A good session I think is when everyone has a input in the song to help it turn out better as I like to listen to everyone’s ideas that I may or may not use to make the final song as you always have to have an open mind I feel in music.
Q: How do you balance your music with other obligations – mate, children, job?
I also take care of my other obligations first each day and balance out my music maybe doing some music early in the morning by means of getting up early to work on the music or later on at night as this seems to work out well for me and my life.
