Born in Ontario, Canada on June 4th, 1982, Melissa Ann Smith grew up in Rochester Hills, Michigan. She started with figure skating at age three, moved on to gymnastics at age five, and naturally progressed towards dance. Within dance Melissa found a home. At age twelve, Melissa surprised her parents by performing in and headlining a Christmas extravaganza, but this time by using her voice. Who knew she could sing? This led to regional and national titles in song and dance competitions. She was continually cast as the lead in such plays as "Cinderella", "Beauty and the Beast" and "Cabaret". Melissa began to feel which direction the Universe was pulling her. Once again she found yet another love within the world of modeling. At age sixteen, she won second place at a National Miss Photogenic Competition. This catapulted her in to such jobs as promotional modeling for Miss Fitness, Detroit Automotive Show, Microsoft, X-Box, Sketcher and Dickies Girls. At age eighteen she heard about a Los Angeles audition for the next girl pop group, "Goddess". With her singing and dancing ability she was sure to land it. But she wasn't in the band for long. At age 19, she went solo and bombarded Los Angeles with her presence. She was a contestant on both Making The Band 3 & Search for the Next Pussycat Doll. She didn't make either but has chosen to go the solo route. She as been signed to 4847 Records and will be dropping her debut album later this year. Here we have her first single a pop ballad titled "I Believed". She is HOOT! Today was the premiere of both the single and video, Enjoy!!
