Melody Federer Signs With Melody Place

Singer-songwriter Melody Federer has signed a publishing deal with Melody Place.

A Texas native, Federer is a nomadic soul who has honed her craft in New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Seattle and now Nashville, where she continues to gain recognition in the alt, indie, country and pop worlds. She has worked with a vast range of talents from Pink, Michael Bublé, Kelly Rowland and Burt Bacharach to up-and-coming country acts Ashley Walls and Jacob Whitesides.

She has also been releasing her own solo material including songs like the smoldering alt-rock track,”This Town,” the Americana twinged ballad (featured on Elton John’s The Rocket Hour) “The Wonder Years,” confessional indie-pop track “Knocked Up,” and the honest and edgy break-up song and her latest release, “Find Jesus.” Federer will also play a big part in the artist development of the entire Melody Place artist roster and has recently been working and writing with Melody Place recording artist Katharine McPhee.

“The first day I met Melody, nearly four years ago, I knew I wanted to sign her,” says Melody Place President/General Manager Sanborn “Sandy” McGraw. “Her innovative lyrics and songwriting talent is so memorable. She continues to blow me away and I couldn’t be happier to have her join the family and write with our incredible roster.”
