Melissa, known to many as Missy, is a compassionate, heart-centred music therapist, composer, ambient artist, and vocalist, with a deep love for connection-through music, people, and presence.

As a songwriter and composer, Missy creates ambient, emotionally rich soundscapes that she integrates into film, dance productions and documentaries -always approaching sound as a medium to inspire thought and evoke feeling.

She toured internationally in 2020 as part of the duo Minor Pieces, signed to FatCat Records (UK) - to promote their studio recorded album, “The Heavy Steps Of Dreaming”, with performances spanning across the UK and Europe that blended intimacy with expansiveness.

With a degree in Music Therapy and over 10 years of experience across long-term care, palliative care, and various mental health settings, Missy has been honoured to support individuals and communities therapeutically through sound, empathy, and holding space.
Her work has received awards and international acclaim, yet it is the relationships and quiet moments of connection that stay with her the most.

Whether in the studio, a clinical setting, or on stage, Missy brings a creative, intuitive, and human-first approach to everything she does. She believes in the power of music to heal, connect, and bring us back to ourselves.
