About
Dawn Melanie is a singer/songwriter and multi instrumentalist. Her music is an eclectic range of originals, with strong Celtic folk, African maskandi and folk influences and wonderful story telling lyrics, which hold deep meaning and take you on a journey to some where mystical. Her lyrics often hold connections to folk lore and mythology, whilst also telling the stories of the human experience as it is today, connecting the past and the present.
OnStage she is backed by Dustyn Froise on the djembe drum and Ben Bruzas on electric guitar, harmonica and vocal harmonies, allowing her to create a full and diverse audio landscape. She has played many venues and festivals across South Africa, including the likes of Earth Dance, Kwasuka Sukela, Folk Xmas, Monteseel Music Festival, The Aesthete Experience, MITH, and Splashy Fen Music Festival, at which she has become a regular feature on their line up. Her recorded works feature not only Ben and Dustyn but also the talents of Nat Bruzas, Guy Buttery, Skippy Kubheka and the Afreekan Sons of God.
Dawn Melanie has released a full album, Titled 'Here and Now', an EP, titled 'Be The Light', which achieved international acclaim, and now a single, 'Late Nights', with a second album due for release later this year. Available on all digital download platforms.
