February, 2025

Melody Federer signs publishing deal with Melody Place.

Melody Federer is Texas-born with a nomadic soul. She honed her craft in New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Seattle and now Nashville, where she continues to gain recognition in the Alt, Indie, Country and Pop music worlds.

Melody has written and worked with a vast range of talents from major pop artists, Pink, Michael Bublé and Kelly Rowland to up-and-coming country acts Ashley Walls and Jacob Whitesides. She’s even crafted alongside songwriting titans including the legendary Burt Bacharach.

Her emotional, memorable, and passionate hook lines and lyrics have put her in songwriting rooms with the likes of GRAMMY winners Emory Dobyn, Bobby Holland, Daniel Tashian and GRAMMY nominees Scott Chesak, Billy Mann, Chad Carlson, and Roget Chahayed.

In her own right, Federer has also been releasing solo material. Her single, “This Town” is a smoldering Alt-rock track that made radio stand at attention. Her track, “The Wonder Years” is an Americana twinged ballad already receiving rave reviews and was featured on Elton John’s “The Rocket Hour”.

Her recent release, “Knocked Up”, is a raw confessional indie-pop song about getting pregnant young and it being the best thing that ever happened to her. And the newest latest release, “Find Jesus” is an honest and edgy break up song, that’s sure to turn heads.
