Melanie Flash
Biography
Melanie Flash, whose real name is Kathy Filippeos, is a dance and pop artist.
She grew up in a very religious household where a career in show business was not envisaged. Her family, recognizing her vocal talent, ultimately agreed that she pursue her dream on the condition that she attend university; she earned a B.F.A. in Music from the University of Toronto.
She developed her craft by covering her favorite bands and artists and recording for hours to perfect her technique and harmonies. From age 18 she became a sought-after session backing vocalist for many major labels and emerging artists in the United States and Canada, a role she has carried out for about ten years.
She is also a member of the cardio fitness group K2 Groove, certified gold and platinum, and lent her voice to two main characters in Fisher-Price’s “Little People”.
She is now launching herself as a solo artist with her first single, Halfway To Heaven. The track is the result of a collaboration with three renowned producers and songwriters: Stephen Singer, and Axel Konrad and Verena, the producer of the globally known group Groove Coverage. The single, released on the Suprime Records label, is available in an energetic dance mix and a softer ‘candlelight’ mix.
