Hailing from the interior of British Columbia, Melissa Endean was raised in a family of professional musicians that included a grandfather who once toured with the legendary Johnny Cash.
Melissa is an accomplished performer as well as a songwriter, with an immediately recognizable and distinctive vocal style that carries enormous range and power, garnering frequent comparisons to Dolly Parton, Patty Griffin, and Tammy Wynette. To date, Melissa has achieved notable success and has worked with many prominent names in the industry, including Jason Wilbur (John Prine) and Grammy award winning producer, Chuck Turner (June Carter Cash-Wildwood Flower).
After a five year hiatus from the music industry to focus on adjusting to life as a new, young mother, Melissa re-entered the music scene with an unrestrained and unapologetic passion that is reflected in a collection of gut-wrenchingly honest and emotionally pure tracks that speak to the potential of neo-traditional & outlaw country.
Within a few short weeks of re-entering the music industry, she was invited into studio by award winning Nashville producer, Dean Miller (Dolly Parton, Allison Krauss, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Terri Clark, Kacey Musgraves) to record her upcoming Sophomore EP. Her new EP, set to be released later this year, will feature a number of raw, gritty, and deeply vulnerable tracks that highlight the full extent of Melissa's awe-inspiring songwriting skills.
