Melo Griffith is an alternative rap and Indie R&B artist using hypnotic voicing and colourful lyricism to bend the lines of contemporary hip-hop creativity. Raised in the GTA and with roots in Ottawa, Melo has learned to mix smooth blues and funk influences with a raw adaptation of the inner city Toronto Rap Sound. His ability to use bedroom dream tones and powerful expressions allows him to build world-like soundscapes eliciting vivid imagery and deep emotion in the music. This is where we truly find a Vivid Imagination Being Evolved by Melo - a VIBE if you will.
As we’ve seen in Melo’s past projects — the debut, CTFO, and the Travis Thickle collaborative EP, The Caves Have Wifi — the artist prides himself in his versatility and vulnerability within the music to both touch on relatable subject matter and storytelling, as well as a raw celebration of life. Giving odes to the youthfulness that one should cherish and cheers to the good times (both come and gone), Melo’s goal is to leave something incredible and beautiful to be remembered by.
Whether he's bringing heavy dynamic energy, or gliding on smooth melodies, Melo continues to push the boundaries of his creativity as a black-male artist in the Toronto music scene, not allowing himself to be confined to standard rap methodology and instead exploring the indie-alternative and bedroom pop sides of his musicality. In one word he is “Rapternative”.
