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.

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.
Where it all began
The 2025 Albums
Before the year of monthly releases, there were three holiday records. This is where the catalog began.
A New Musical · 2026
Bring Us Home
Exile · Hope · Homeland
The Musical
Bring Us Home
A concept album and musical set in the Babylonian exile, following Aviva through loss, longing, and the stubborn hope of finding the way home. Free companion Bible study guides included.
Listen everywhere
Wherever you stream, so you never miss a monthly release.
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.
Press play
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.
