Music Unites Ambassador Melanie Fiona Launches Empowering Women Through Music Initiative

Posted: June 5, 2014

Since the release of her critically acclaimed debut album, The Bridge, R&B singer Melanie Fiona has been on a quick rise to stardom: In just the past few months she earned a Grammy nomination, scored a No. 1 hit on the R&B charts, appeared on Ellen Degeneres and Jimmy Kimmel Live and graced the pages of Billboard, the New York Times, Nylon and even Italian Vanity Fair. On March 16, just prior to starting her tour opening for Alicia Keys, she joined Music Unites to kick off our Women’s Empowerment initiative with an intimate acoustic concert at the Cooper Square Hotel Penthouse. DJ Chelsea Leyland spun inside and Melanie mingled with guests such as Tinsley Mortimer, Ryan Leslie, Eric West and Jeannine Ortega.
