“Life is a Journey, enjoy it” is one of Melika Miller’s favorite quotes.  Her life has truly been an amazing journey. Living in New York City over the past years has been intense.  She was almost homeless, had to draw welfare, jobless, and fighting to remain faithful in the face of adversity.  Through it all, she held on to her relationship with Jesus and was able to overcome her trials so that she could be used to bring hope and love to others. Over the years, Melika has inspired others through her gift of music and perseverant spirit.  As an educator, entertainer, and mentor, Melika believes her life is the message. 

Melika’s Arkansas roots influence her music.  Her musical style is a mixture of blues, country, soul, and gospel.  She is unapologetically original.  Melika writes from her heart because she does not know any other way.  If she does not connect with it, she cannot be honest in her performance.  She lives and feels every word and wants to bring her audience into her reality.  

Music is a healing tool and Melika uses it to help bring love, joy, and peace into other’s hearts.  “I was created for this purpose and my life’s journey is to pour my life out so that others can feel the love of Christ.”  Melika believes her music and her life goes hand in hand. 

Over the years, Melika has performed in different venues in New York City such as:  SolVillage at SOB’s with Eric Roberson, Sugar Bar, Triad, Bitter End, and Billie’s Black.  She has also performed in Organix Soul showcases in Boston, MA, Hartford, CT, and Springfield, MA.  Recently, Melika had an amazing opportunity to be the featured performer at the United Nations for an event honoring International Decade for People of African Descent.  

Melika’s recent single, “Don’t Give Up Now”, is a country, soul, bluesy filled song with honest lyrics.  The song is an anthem to inspire others to hold on to hope.  Melika is a light that says your circumstances does not define what you can accomplish in your life.  Faith, hope, and love are the virtues that help to guide Melika Miller’s amazing journey towards impacting the lives of many.
