melody. is a Japanese pop singer who was born on February 24th, 1982 in Honolulu, Hawaii. She started out modeling at the age of 16, but wanted to launch a music career in Japan and did so with the release of her first single, Dreamin’ Away, on February 19th, 2003. It wasn’t until her first collaboration with m-flo on their “m-flo loves…” project that she became more well-known.

From April 2007 until October 2008, melody. was the host of J-MELO, an all-English weekly show focused on Japanese music that airs on NHK World TV. Outside of Japan, she may be known for playing the character “Yumi Yamamoto” in Electronic Art’s Need for Speed: Carbon, which also featured the Junkie XL remix of her song FEEL THE RUSH on its soundtrack.

On October 22, 2008, melody. announced that she would retire from the music industry in January 2009, with plans to enter the fashion industry as a designer of Western-styled clothes. On April 10, 2009, after much speculation, melody. officially announced that she had gotten married to 雅-miyavi- on March 14, 2009. She also stated that they had gotten engaged in May 2008 and in July 2008, she had decided to retire from her music career. The couples first child was born on July 29, 2009.

Can someone please separate the *real* melody. from the child-artist "Melody"? It drives me crazy seeing melody. being classified as "Spanish", with "Spanish music" from Spain. :( Anyway, love to melody. for her music. :) And a (late) congrats to her beautiful child. <3
