Melanie Martinez is an American singer, songwriter, and visual artist known for her dark, whimsical storytelling and distinctive aesthetic. Born on April 28, 1995, in Astoria, Queens, New York, and raised in Baldwin, Long Island, Martinez was drawn to music and art from a young age. Growing up, she listened to a wide range of genres, including hip-hop, pop, and indie music, while also watching classic movies and exploring photography.
A shy child, she found self-expression through creativity, writing poetry, and creating art that reflected her unique style and interests. Her big break came in 2012 when she auditioned for The Voice, singing Britney Spears’s Toxic and catching the attention of judges, including Adam Levine, who became her mentor on the show. Though she didn’t win, her unique voice and alternative style stood out, helping her build an early fan base.
After The Voice, she took control of her career, focusing on developing her distinct sound and look. This led to her debut single, Dollhouse, in 2014, which introduced her concept of a doll-like alter ego dealing with dark, mature themes masked by a “childish” appearance. The song and its self-directed music video became viral hits, showcasing Martinez’s creativity and ability to weave narrative and music into a cohesive story.
