Remote Backing Vocalist

Melissa Harding Music on SoundBetter

I'm a world touring backing vocalist that can collaborate with you to record a thoughtful and dynamic vocal arrangement for your next track or album!

I began my work as a studio singer within a year of arriving in Los Angeles at 18. 20 years later, I have my own home studio with the ability to remotely record high end backing vocals for all types of musical projects.

With a specialty in vocal style, Melissa loves working with artists to break down the story and tone of each specific track in order to curate thoughtful and dynamic backing vocals to support it.

Melissa works on an hourly rate for individual tracks. Full EP's and albums can be negotiated and discussed based on budget and demand.
