About

Melanie Martinez (born April 28, 1995, Astoria, New York) is an American singer-songwriter, director, and visual artist who rose to prominence on season 3 of The Voice in 2012. Her debut album Cry Baby (2015) and its follow-ups K-12 (2019) and PORTALS (2023) built a devoted global fanbase around her dark, surrealist take on alternative pop, with each record paired with an elaborate visual world. K-12 came with a full-length musical film she wrote and directed herself; PORTALS debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. Her fourth album, HADES (2026), marks the start of a new double-album project built around a brand-new character.
