Meet the artist
Hi, I’m Melanie Grace
I’m so glad you’re here. This is where all the songs I kept in journals for years finally get to live out loud, one new album every month of 2026.
A Year of Music
Every month of 2026 gets its own album. A different mood each time, the same heart behind all of it. Tap any month to listen.
Beyond the monthly twelve
Bonus Albums
Extra releases that live outside the monthly lineup, from earlier records to the musical and the new album still to come.

The story behind the songs
A lifetime musician, finally singing her own songs.
After decades in church choirs, worship bands, and classical training, Melanie is turning more than ten journals of unfinished songs into fully produced music. Real stories about real life: love, loss, friendship, faith, and starting over.
“It’s never too late to chase the thing you were made to do.”
When she isn’t writing, she’s a homeschool mom of two, a 5 a.m. OrangeTheory regular, and a quilter with a whole second creative life of her own.
On AI collaboration
Written with a partner named Claude H. Becker.
Melanie is fully transparent about co-writing and producing with AI, crediting her creative partner in honor of her late father. The heart, the stories, and the voice are hers. The technology just helps her keep up with everything she has to say.

Bring Us Home
