California Pop Artist Melaku's New Song "Paradise" Is A Meditation On Nature Wrapped In A Dance Pop Song
(Santa Cruz, California)
“Paradise”, by Melaku, is a song that reminds you to get back to a feeling of joy. It’s a meditation on nature and spirituality wrapped in a dance pop song.
From a songwriting standpoint, it is reminiscent of the classic pop sound of the 70s and 80s; artists like Tom Petty, Don Henley, Hall & Oates. In terms of more contemporary artists, the sound is similar to Maroon 5, Calvin Harris, Charlie Puth.
Melaku wrote and produced the song himself at Mowbray Studio in Santa Cruz, California, with some input from co-producer and engineer Ian Bell, at Loud House. The song is released on Melaku's independent label, Angellion Records, and is available on all major digital outlets. Check out Melaku's new music video for "Paradise."
About Melaku
Melaku is a solo artist, songwriter, and record producer. He writes and records his music in his hometown recording studio, Mowbray Studio, and releases the music on his independent record label, Angellion Records. Raised in a small beach town in northern California, Melaku began writing and singing as early as 5, picked up the drums at 10, and started recording himself at 13, later moving on to recording with bands and artists in the area. Melaku went to Columbia University in New York City and studied Sociology and Business Management, but continued recording songs in his dorm on campus.
After interning at SONY Music, Jive Records, his original songs landed him a management deal that led to writing songs with producers for artists like Ke$ha, Flo Rida, B.o.B, Jacob Lattimore, Collie Buddz and various major and independent labels like Universal Motown, Atlantic Records, Tulsa Records, Easy Star Records, and G Note. After graduating, Melaku spent many summers in LA in writing sessions, while defining his own sound as an artist. On 11/11/2018, Melaku released his debut album "Golden Age.” The album received positive coverage from publications like With Guitars Magazine, Tattoo Magazine, The Indie Source, and Consequence Of Sound. On 12/12/2019 he released his sophomore album "Dream World," an album that dives into the awakenings that can come from the ending of relationships. In 2020, Melaku is continuing in the “pursuit of catchiness” - in the studio creating music that has “more electronic elements, while still retaining a classic pop sound.”
