Biography

Melissa M was born on August 21, 1985, in Marseille, in the southern French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Her parents are from the Algerian city of Bejaia.

Passionate about music since her childhood, she began singing at the age of 10. She participated in various competitions in her hometown and while taking singing lessons. Her big sister entered a day at the age of 14 at issuance Seeds star 4, but lost in the final. At 18 while preparing for her CAP salon, she met the French production duo Kilomaitre. Originally she wanted to use the stage name Melissa but that name had already been taken by another singer. So she added the letter M, which is the first letter of her last name (Merchiche).
