Melinda Stanford, a native of California, has been working professionally as a singer, songwriter, and pianist for over 15 years since she graduated from Yale University.

Melinda has performed in a broad range of venues in New York, from the Rainbow Room to downtown clubs such as the Knitting Factory, the Duplex, and Cafe Sin-é. She has performed at the O’Neill Theatre Cabaret Symposium, where she studied with Margaret Whiting. She also wrote, produced, and performed in a one-woman show called “Where Do the Mermaids Stand?” at Eighty-Eight’s. As a writer of both theater and pop music, she was one of a small number of composers selected to write for the BMI Theater Workshop in New York City. She has performed in jazz, folk, and cabaret venues in Boston and along the East Coast, as well as in Japan. Melinda lives in the Boston area, where she performs individually and with bands, writes and acts, and is a vocal coach.

Melinda has produced two CDs. Tread On My Dreams features her own settings of favorite poems, spanning pop and jazz styles. Her new CD, Off The Cuff offers her interpretations of jazz standards, with a stripped-down arrangement of piano and voice.
