All Together
All Together is a Thanksgiving album about family traditions. It’s adult contemporary singer-songwriter music with partial storytelling, and it’s very enjoyable to listen to. I kept hearing from people that there aren’t enough Thanksgiving songs, so I set out to change that. I felt this album was needed.

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, an Orange Theory Fitness 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.

Every stream counts
I'm an indie artist, which means there's no big machine behind these songs. Just me, and you. Every play, every share, every Reel with one of my songs behind it helps this music find its people. Here's how to help, and please, have fun with it.

Stream it
Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, wherever you already live. Every single play counts: playlists, repeats, background music while you fold laundry. All of it.
Pass it on
Share it
Send a song to a friend, your family, that one person who needs it today. For an indie artist, word of mouth is everything, and it starts with you.
Tag me
Reel it
Use my songs on your Instagram Reels and posts. Seriously, please do! Tag @TheMelanieGrace so I can cheer you on. Have fun with it.
