Melissa Pierre-Louis
Melissa was born in West Palm Beach, in sunny
South Florida. She was always surrounded by
music as she grew up listening to her father
playing classical guitar and directing choir at her
church where she attended many concerts. She
also enjoyed many other musical events in that
community. Several of her relatives, including
her aunt, are actively involved in music and she
counts several cousins who are recording artists
in their own rights.
While crying hard as a baby the only thing that
could get through to her was a certain record.
She would immediately stop to listen. It is fair
to say that she\'s gotmusic in her.
Both her father and mother encouraged her to
exteriorize the music that was inside her by steering her into singing and the piano. While she was taking in the contemporary Christian music records brought to her she stuck to the piano. It would be later on in her mid teen years, in Texas, that she began showing serious interest in singing. However once she started, she never looked back.
She was the soloist in children and adult choirs, school chorales and advanced choirs; she participated in competitions and sang the national anthem in several sporting events and even at her high school graduation. She took her music with her to Mexico where she sang on mission trips. She sang professionally at weddings and she has been performing the songs that her father has been writing at concerts and other church events. Some of these songs are featured on her debut album,
She now leads worship at her church in Charlotte, NC, where she blesses the heart of the countless worshipers who are touched by her gift and genuine love for God and people.
One thing that will strike you as you come in contact with Melissa is the joy and sincerity that she exudes. You have the correct impression that you are in the presence of the \"real thing\" and this is what she is able to convey eloquently through her music. She has a deceptively powerful voice for her frame and that voice that will reverberate in deep areas of the soul.
Melissa has been blessed with a talent that she is sharing with the world today. A ministry has been entrusted into her care and if you listen to her you will be convinced that this noble cause is hers and you will join her in helping carry the message to the ends of the earth.
