Who Is She?

Welcome Dekker heads!   Combine intensity and nonchalance and you end up right here.  Melanie Dekker invites you to taste music that carries a sweet bitter honesty and blends insights into stories.  ‘Acoustic Ride’ has a break on through to the other side vibe with guitars, and other surprise instruments keeping the album acoustic and warm. 'Just Because' playfully combines heartfelt crooning and a colorful attitude and 'Revealed' delivers potent messages (with crank-it-in-car grooves) empowering love, communication and vitality. You will likely catch this Canadian born, of Dutch decent, artist giggling, teasing and sweating between songs at a live performance.

I will probably go mad with love a thousand times through this strange musical dream-like journey... I mostly write when I feel intense. Intense love, distraction, attraction, sadness, confusion, bewilderment, frustration, sex, longing, pain, or plain insanity. It feels good to be on the edge and even better to capture it."
