This exceptional Canadian-born, London-based singer-songwriter has been compared to Liz Fraser from the Cocteau Twins, Kate Bush and Laurie Anderson, but in truth she is a unique spirit all of her own making.
Most singers make their homes in either alternative pop or dance music, but Melody Klyman bucks the trend in that she has excelled in both fields over the years. As Melody Klyman, her first two alt.pop albums received rave reviews in The Guardian, Time Out and Clash Magazine, while she also has a parallel electronic music alias which she’s been using for a number of years – Liz Melody.
She uses the Liz Melody moniker when singing on club tracks, when writing songs/toplines for other performers, and for the voiceover work she does. She also has a dance vocal and production project as Breaks Will Eat Itself - a breakbeat homage to 90s indie-dance act Pop Will Eat Itself in name .
However, it’s as Melody Klyman that she has fully been able to express the range of her emotions, and earn comparisons with some of the finest, quirkiest female singer-songwriters in music history.
A classically trained pianist, Elizabeth Melody Klyman began writing her own songs while still at school. She started an indie band at the age of 18, playing small venues around Toronto in Canada, but it was after visiting the UK in the mid-90s that she fell in love with rave and club culture.
Falling in with the Kickin Records/Slip N Slide crew in London, she guested on Boomshanka’s piano house anthem ‘Gonna Make You Move’ and subsequently divided her time between North America and the UK over the coming years.
