mf.jpg
Last night, Iattended a showcase for a new artist signed to ROC Nation, Melanie Fiona. The girl was purely amazing! Melanie is beautiful and super talented. The event took place in SoHo @ Canal Room. The place was filled with numerous music industry taste makers, which is a very good look for an up and coming songtress. You can read more about the event after the jump...  Melanie Fiona is the newest signee to Jay-Z's ROC Nation. She is a R&B/Soul singer, with a lot of funky attitude. She isn't like Jill Scott or anything, she gives me al ittle more Pop. Melanie actually was opening for Kanye West during his European tour. The event was OPEN BAR, so you know everyone was going to be there. The weather sucked, but that didn't stop industry folk. There were a lot of random faces, but that was good. melanieshontelle.jpg When Miss.Fiona hit the stage she had everyones attention, especially since she had a full band. Now that's major for someone so new. Jay-Z was in the building, so she brought her A game---gotta impress the big guy.She performed a variety of songs that I was vibing to.She had everyone in the Canal Room jamming to her tracks. She never said which one would be her first single, but I guess they are keeping that under wraps. Her band was crazy dope by the way. I love me a live band and some R&B music. Melanie Fiona has a lot of good buzz right now, so we better get use to seeing her. I haven't gone to many showcases, but this was hands down the best. Free drinks, good people, and great music is always the best. You can check out more of Melanieon her blog. I love her even more now that I know she is a blogger...Get Into Melanie Fiona.  Other Artists that attended besides Jay-Z was singer Shontelle and Questlove. shontelle.jpgquestlove.jpg Check out one of my favorite songs by Melanie Fiona called Give it To me Right
