Melbreeze, Animazonia Review
Connect with Melbreeze: Facebook
Melbreeze is an artist that has steadily released evocative and groundbreaking CDs for several years now. Most have been produced by former bassist of the Yellowjackets Jimmy Haslip. This project he is joined in the production chair by Scott Kinsey, best known for his work with Tribal Tech. Melbreeze was born in Smyrna, Turkey to parents who deeply supported the artistic atmosphere that flowed through the home. Her first foray into performance was through ballet, which she started learning when she was five years old and pursued for many years to come. After completing her academic education, having majored in Business Administration as an undergrad and going to the United States for further education, Melbreeze focused on raising her own family. Music never left her heart, with a succession of deeply explorative albums, her latest endeavor Animazonia is filled with mostly Latin underpinnings. That’s the short of It!
