I go by Mel·lif·lu·ous, a name that mirrors my sound: smooth, layered, and resonant. I’m a violinist, vocalist, and experimental composer who crafts soundscapes using loops, voice, and violin — often transforming them into synth textures with tools like Push 3 and the microcosm (for all you tech heads).
My roots are in classical music, but I’m driven by curiosity. I blur the lines between genres, drawing from ambient, electronic, pop, and experimental traditions to build immersive sonic worlds. My performances are more than just music — they’re experiences that explore solitude, memory, and connection. I create from instinct, intuition, and a desire to connect with people beyond words.
Beyond music, my work is fueled by a compassionate spirit. I once led an initiative to bring clean water to a Tanzanian village, living there and documenting the experience firsthand — an experience that deepened my belief in the power of community and storytelling. Now, I'm embarking on a sabbatical: a journey back to my first love — music. My recent artist residency in Iceland spawned an album featuring 10 unique collaborators.
For me, music is freedom. It’s a way to process the noise of the world, to tap into something more honest — something deeply human. I believe in the power of sound to hold space and to tell stories.
My journey into sound began early, with a violin in my hands. My parents love to tell the story of how, as a little kid, I picked up a violin and immediately started playing — like I already knew how. From then on, I was hooked (or at least, they were). For 15 years, they made me practice an hour a day. I hated it. But now, I’m so grateful. That daily discipline gave me a foundation — and eventually, a voice.
My violin teacher, Mr. Horch, used to tell me I was talented (though I suspect he said that to everyone). Still, hearing it from him mattered. It gave me confidence. It made me believe I could do something special with sound.
I’ve always been drawn to blending elements — whether it’s visuals, music, or tech. Over the years, I’ve worked across design, web, and music, and I bring all of that into my performances. Each piece is a convergence of where I’ve been and where I’m going.I’m self-taught in many ways — learning gear, tools, and software through late nights, deep dives, and endless curiosity. Every loop, every layer, is part of a lifelong pursuit of expression.
