Although a relative newcomer to Melbourne's Jazz scene, Mel Searle is quickly making a name for herself as a gifted and distinctive jazz vocalist. With an innate talent for vocal improvisation and a exquisite vocal warmth and depth of tone, Mel's vocals are luminescent and empathetic...
Mel's passion for singing has developed over many years, stemming from being surrounded by music as a young child and learning classical piano. She grew up singing and playing in her church, which provided a perfect environment for honing her ability to connect with the heart of a song. She moved to Melbourne as a student to complete a degree in Music Teaching at Melbourne University, and it was from her many years of teaching that she discovered that the voice was a unique and exquisite instrument. Singing soon became her main focus. She spent time as the lead vocalist of funk bank Soul Intention and began to broaden her musical interests into soul, jazz and all genres of popular music, also recording with local Melbourne artists.
A versatile performer and musician, Mel Searle performs regularly around Melbourne in a myriad of settings including weddings, corporate functions, jazz clubs, community events & festivals and of course - at church! She was recently a regular at Crown Casino's Atrium Bar with her Jazz Duo. A talented Musical & Creative Director she has also directed many ensembles over the years, including varied choral groups, her church band and for the last 10 years - the Manningham Carols by Candlelight choir and ensemble, which attracts an annual audience of around 10,000 people. She is also a featured vocalist at this event.
In her spare time Mel is also a mum of 3 growing kids, wife of 1 gorgeous husband and part time domestic goddess!
