20-year-old Harlem-based singer, songwriter and rapper Melii first exploded into mainstream consciousness after her remix of Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” went viral. Featuring braggadocious lyrics and melodious riffs, the sleeper hit showcased Melii’s natural ability to tame even the most driving, aggressive beats. This coupled with the success of her single “No Simple Chick” set the stage for 2018 to be her defining year. Since the release of her single, Melii has been in the studio recording her debut project Phases . The narrative-focused offering will explore her past - from the painful memories to the victories that culminated in her ultimate success. Slated for release this summer, Phases is an intimate portrait of a multi-talented artist who is equally as comfortable singing as she is rapping and songwriting.
