MELANIE VALERA T (503) 875 7347 [email protected] www.tenderforever.com
SHORT BIOGRAPHY Melanie Valera is an autodidact performing artist and a pop music maker residing in Portland, OR – USA. She was born in 1977 in South West France where she spent her formative years. In 2005, she left her native ground for an incredible transatlantic adventure from where she will never return. A laptop, a long mic cord and almost too much enthusiasm was all it took. 3 successful opuses (K RECORDS) and 800 international shows later, she has worked on multimedia projects, including collaborations with film maker Ted Passon, Multimedia artist Nick Lally and producer Christopher Doulgeris. She has shared the stage with Cocorosie, Kimya Dawson, Men, Deerhoof, The Blow, Calvin Johnson, Mirah, Electrelane and much more. Most recently, she performed at the TBA FESTIVAL 2010 in Portland-OR with Ted Passon and Nick Lally (which work was later qualified of “genius” and “best performance at the Works”, the Whitney Museum in New York City, el Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, el Museu d'Art Contemporani in Barcelona (MACBA), Centre George Pompidou and La Cité Internationale in Paris. She has composed scores for shorts, video games and advertisements. Melanie Valeraʼs multimedia pop projects explore and challenge spaces, overlap realities, tell you stories, span nationalities and leaps forward towards a world where we can close the gaps between countries, ideologies and ultimately hearts.
She is currently recording a 4th opus and has just received the RAAC Grant to complete a promising collaborative multimedia project called “MAZED” with Peter Burr.
