Melody Gardot

Biography

American jazz-singer and musician Melody Gardot is not simply a brilliant performer, but a perfect example of a strong-willed, ambitious and brave person who managed to overcome the difficult circumstances in her life and become what she is today. Melody was born in 1985 in New Jersey. Despite her fondness of music and regular piano trainings, Melody did not intend to become a professional musician. Aged sixteen, she started performing at local clubs with her repertoire including both compositions of classic jazz artists and songs of contemporary acts playing a completely different type of music. Melody neglected any stylistic limitations doing anything she was interested in. This activity was much closer to a certain sort of hobby rather than to professional occupation, which was just to Gardot’s satisfaction as she was not going to make her living with the help of a piano.
