Soul's calling: sharing her unique gifts as "God's Troubadour and the Johnny Appleseed of Love" to serve, help, and uplift others' hearts
Since her musical and spiritual paths converged, Mel has recorded 7 CDs of original instrumental and inspirational vocal music; they are available through Amazon.com, indierhythm.com and at cdbaby.com/melwhite7. Two more are in the works for (hopefully) a release by the end of the year. Singers on the CDs include Scott Coulter, Denise DiRenzo, Jenny Giering, Jeremy Koch, Bill McKinley, Denene Mulay, Heidi Muller, Connie Pachl, David Roth, Amanda Satchell, Elaine Silver, Robby Stamper, Antoan Towe and Timothy Walton plus others - an endless potpourri of sounds and styles
Other items in progress: a book, "God's Troubadour", in Chicken-Soup-for-the-Soul format, telling the stories behind the songs on the CDs; and two songbook compilations, group songs and choral arrangements
Mel's website, www.smilingheartmusic.com, is a clearing-house for those who listen to/create music with life-affirming lyrics, through which Mel does benefit concerts for groups needing inspirational music and financial support
Was Music Director at a Religious Science church for 12 years - now plays at various churches, New Thought/traditional, from CA to FL but mostly in the NJ/NY/PA area; has performed often in NYC, especially at the Duplex
Available for concerts and workshops at colleges, women's groups, religious groups, churches, weddings, private parties; piano lessons available privately and through Adult School, Maplewood NJ; or I'll write you a song!
Mel adores her 2 grown sons, Jeremy and David Koch, her "Baby Grands" Jason, Carly Rose and Riley Alexis, her husband (Donald White) and her two beloved Shih-Tzus, Barker and Piper. She feels blessed to know her soul's calling and be able to do what she's on the planet to do.
