About the artist

Melanie Martinez

Ah, Melanie Martinez. The self-proclaimed Cry Baby herself. This artist has taken the music industry by storm with her unique blend of pop, alternative, and just a touch of the macabre. With her signature two-toned hair and doll-like aesthetic, Martinez is a true visual and auditory storyteller. Hailing from Baldwin, New York, Martinez got her start in the industry as a contestant on The Voice in 2012. While she didn't win the competition, she certainly won over the hearts of fans all over the world with her haunting vocals and captivating stage presence. Martinez's debut album, "Cry Baby," was released in 2015 to critical acclaim. The album tells the story of a character named Cry Baby, who navigates through the trials and tribulations of growing up in a world that can be both whimsical and harsh. The conceptual nature of the album, paired with Martinez's enchanting vocals, solidified her as a true force to be reckoned with in the industry. But Martinez is not just all about the music. Her music videos are like mini-movies, filled with vivid imagery and storytelling that captivate audiences and leave them wanting more. From dollhouses to carousel rides, Martinez's visuals are just as hauntingly beautiful as her lyrics. With her sophomore album, "K-12," Martinez has further solidified her status as a boundary-pushing artist. The album is a full-length film that acts as a continuation of the Cry Baby story, showcasing Martinez's growth as an artist and a storyteller. With catchy hooks, introspective lyrics, and a touch of whimsy, Melanie Martinez is a breath of fresh air in a music industry that can sometimes feel stale and predictable. So grab your teddy bear and get ready to dive into the twisted world of Melanie Martinez.
