About
| Fearlessness, fortitude, valor: small words in comparison to the unbeatable drive and determination of Singer-Songwriter, Melisa Pash. Representing the Northern Cree community of Chisasibi, Quebec , Melisa is making significant inroads into the music industry. Like her ancestors who possessed the spirit to survive the harsh climate of the James Bay region, her creativity and strength of spirit knows no bounds. Her music may sound modern, but its roots are thousands of years in the making.
Although her songs can be classified as pop rock, or contemporary, Melisa’s unique sound stems from her native inspirations. Almost every song she has created has been borne out of personal experience. Growing up in Val d’Or she witnessed the hurt of racism from the front line, which inspires her today to share her native culture, and work towards strengthening friendships between different nations. In 2007 Melissa won a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award for making a significant positive impact on the Canadian Aboriginal Music Industry. As an accomplished musician on vocals, cello, guitar and piano Melisa created a “Protégé Program” to help young Cree musicians get a solid start in their musical careers. Melisa has shared the music stage with one of her idols, former Kashtin member Florent Vollant, as well as legendary guitarist Bob Cohen. She also holds three film credits to her name, one children's movie as well as a fifth film credit with the National Film Board. Recently on the strength of her album launch concert Melisa was signed for a tour of concert halls with Spectournée. Melisa is currently working on the follow-up to her first CD The Rise of Daisy Moon, which she hopes to have completed before year’s end. |
