Mel Fromm Jr - part of God's Symphony


If you’ve been on my timeline lately, there’s one name that keeps showing up like clockwork: Melvin Fromm Jr. And let me tell you—this man is everywhere for a reason. Whether it's fans sharing his music, DJs raving about his sound, or artists quoting his work, Melvin is the moment. And with over 2,000 tracks now available on SoundCloud, there’s never been a better time to dive into his world.

Already featured in Melodic Playground Magazine, Melvin Fromm Jr. is more than just prolific—he’s purposeful. Each song is crafted with a level of care and spiritual resonance that honestly feels divinely guided. I’m not exaggerating when I say: it sounds like God is playing the instruments.

Melvin’s journey as a composer began decades ago, rooted in something deeply personal—love. Back in the 1990s, he started writing lyrics inspired by the woman he loved, who later became his wife. That love evolved into full-blown compositions, and now here we are: thousands of tracks later, still feeling the emotion he originally set out to capture. Honestly, his wife must feel like the luckiest woman on Earth. She’s not just the love of his life—she’s the blueprint for his legacy. Imagine being the heartbeat behind a catalog this rich. Whew.

And while his music speaks for itself, I recently got to tap in with Melvin for a few personal gems, and his answers just made me love his story even more.

When I asked about his zodiac sign, he smiled and said, “I’m a Pisces — all heart, all depth, all emotion. I see the world differently. Always have.”
And that tracks perfectly. You can feel that emotional depth in every song he puts out.

As for childhood influences?
“My childhood hero? Easy. The Hulk. Picked on, misunderstood—but like him, I found my strength.”
You can tell Melvin channels that inner strength into his music—it’s powerful, resilient, and vulnerable all at once.

He also shared that if he could collab with anyone in history, it would be Elvis Presley. “Not just because he’s the King, but because I heard he was tough to work with—and I love that challenge. I’d soak up game, pick his brain, and match his fire.”

And of course, being a Pennsylvania native, Melvin reps his home teams hard: Eagles and Phillies, win or lose.

But it’s not just sports or nostalgia—Melvin’s music is grounded in something deeper: faith, discipline, and creative purpose. He’s turned down restrictive label deals to stay independent, continues releasing new music almost daily, and has been picked up by radio stations and licensing platforms all over the world.

With over 2,000 songs on SoundCloud, you’re not just listening to music—you’re stepping into a living archive of love, struggle, triumph, and spirit.

So go ahead and tap into Melvin Fromm Jr.’s SoundCloud. Whether you need peace, inspiration, or just something real to vibe to—he’s got you. And if you're lucky, you might even feel what his wife feels: that unconditional, art-fueled love that lives on forever in melody.

The Unconventional Genius of Dewy

Sometimes, the most unforgettable discoveries happen by accident. I came across Title Goes Here: Adventures in Foolishness while browsing for new indie releases—and what stopped me in my tracks wasn’t the content inside the book. It was the cover. Or rather, the lack of one.

No title design. No artwork. Just a bold, blank space.

At first, I thought it was a mistake. Then it hit me: this wasn’t a mistake at all. It was marketing brilliance. A rebellious invitation to dive in without preconceived notions—and that’s exactly what author Dewy does with her writing. She breaks convention with every page, offering readers a raw, genre-defying experience that blends poetry, short stories, and even spells into a powerful declaration of creative freedom.

Originally from Odessa, Texas, and now based in New York City, Dewy is the kind of writer who channels personal truth into every line. Her upbringing in a place that didn't always allow space for authenticity deeply shaped her voice. “That structural dread flavors a lot of my work,” she shared with me in a recent exchange. “Being an outsider and survival is all I really know from that era.”

That outsider perspective—sharp, reflective, and sometimes absurd—gives Title Goes Here its unique tone. The book doesn’t fit neatly into any category, and that’s the point. It dares to be messy, magical, humorous, painful, and above all, honest. Dewy writes like someone who has broken through the walls and decided never to rebuild them.

Her journey into writing wasn’t traditional. “I honestly hated writing for a large part of my childhood,” she admits. It wasn’t until high school, when an open-minded teacher encouraged her to ditch the structure and find her voice, that everything began to shift. Years later, after law school and time spent working at firms where personal expression was restricted, Dewy launched her own blog—writing essays under her chosen name and rediscovering the joy of creative freedom. “It was like I could breathe again.”

From there, it didn’t take long for her poetic side to emerge. “When I posted that poem, it felt like a new part of me was on display,” she recalls. That first poem sparked the journey that led to Title Goes Here, a book that invites readers to laugh, think, and unlearn. It’s filled with existential poetry, short stories with emotional and sometimes humorous twists, and even magical rituals—summoning spells, rituals for invisibility, even explorations of immortality.

At its core, the book is about “foolishness”—not as a flaw, but as a form of freedom. “I’m the person who will actively encourage someone to follow their heart and dreams over what we are told to prioritize,” Dewy said. “It’s not always the smartest thing to do, but I can’t live any other way.”

There’s no doubt her words will resonate with anyone who’s felt boxed in, misunderstood, or hungry for more sincerity in a world full of noise. She finds inspiration in everything from Tamora Pierce’s Protector of the Small to religious texts that range from the sacred to the surreal. And while poetry remains her first love, Dewy is expanding her creative universe with projects driven by her flair for storytelling.

When asked what success means to her, Dewy keeps it grounded: “I just want to put something together I can be proud of… Even if no one reads it.” But it’s hard to imagine a future where readers won’t find their way to her work. Her weekly blog, her community engagement, her authenticity—they all suggest she’s not just building books. She’s building a legacy.

If you’re ready for something bold, personal, and spiritually offbeat, Title Goes Here is that book. It doesn’t just entertain—it invites you to rethink what matters and maybe, just maybe, let go of what doesn’t.

Find the book on Amazon, Bookshop.org, or request it at your favorite indie bookstore using ISBN: 9798988131854.

Marc Biala releases “Rainbow Connection


Welcome back to my blog Vibing with Meladee, over the past few years I have been blessed to watch independent artists rise, evolve, and shine—and one of those luminous creatives goes by the name of Marc Biala. A singer-songwriter based in Austin, Marc is not just a musical talent but a voice of depth, sincerity, and fearless authenticity. His artistry stands out in a saturated world, not because it demands attention, but because it deserves it. And now, just in time for Pride Month, he’s gifted us something truly special: his latest single, “Rainbow Connection.”

Marc Biala is no stranger to the Melodic Playground family. His music has been in daily rotation on Melodic Playground Radio, and he’s already made his mark in a recent issue of Melodic Playground Magazine, where we explored his unique journey from work, to creating soul-stirring indie pop. His songs are always emotionally charged, grounded in real experiences, and brave in their vulnerability. With each release, Marc reveals a little more of himself—and invites us to do the same.

His newest track, “Rainbow Connection,” arrives with perfect timing, wrapped in the colors of hope, pride, and love. It’s an LGBTQ+ friendly anthem that doesn’t just celebrate queer identity—it honors the shared journey of belonging, acceptance, and visibility. The melody is warm and welcoming, yet powerful. It feels like a hug from a friend who truly sees you. Marc’s tender vocals glide over soft, shimmering production, creating a sonic space where everyone is safe to be exactly who they are.

More than just a Pride Month release, “Rainbow Connection” is an emotional reminder of how music can be a lifeline. For those who’ve felt invisible, othered, or silenced, Marc offers a radiant message of togetherness. He writes from the heart and sings with intention. The result is a song that isn’t trying to be a hit—it simply is one because of the truth it carries.

It’s that emotional authenticity that sets Marc apart. Whether he’s crooning over a holiday track, reflecting on personal growth, or turning up the energy with a dance anthem, his music is always grounded in real-life moments. And behind every melody is a man who isn’t afraid to say, “I’ve been messy. I’ve been searching. But I’m still here. And I’m still singing.”
