The phone lines in the WIZ studio are blowing up for It Kills Me, new music from an up & coming artist by the name of Melonie Fiona. But, who is she?
Melanie Hallim, better known by her stage name Melanie Fiona, is a Canadian R&B singer-songwriter from Toronto, Ontario. She was born to Guyanese immigrant parents and grew up in the inner city of Toronto. Living in a music filled household, Fiona says she always knew music was her passion. Her father was a guitarist in a band and would allow her to sit on the stage when she was younger as he practiced, and remembers her mother playing music at home; everything from The Ronettes to Whitney Houston.
Her debut album The Bridge was released in the summer of 2009. The 1st single “Give It to Me Right” was released to radio stations on February 28, 2009, and peaked at #20 on Billboard’s Canadian Hot 100 and #41 on the UK Singles Chart. The second single, “It Kills Me”, charted on the Billboard Hot 100. The song earned Fiona a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for the 2010 Grammy Award ceremonies.
