In The Spotlight

Mel Senese – “Main Character”

Hailing from Chicago, this singer and songwriter grew up making music with her producer uncle who had a music studio. Also a multi-instrumentalist, she learned to play piano, guitar and clarinet. She’s been honing her craft as frontwoman of several bands before going solo. In 2017 she earned the title of Chicago Big Break Champion and went on to open for Dorothy and The Veronicas. Inspired by artists such as P!nk, No Doubt and Paramore, she released her debut “Prey” in 2019.

Singing about embracing your self-worth and the need to look after yourself, her new single encourages us to pursue happiness and make ourselves the main character of our story. Taken from her recently released EP with the same title, the song builds on a pop foundation with a touch of energetic rock. Starting with some bass plucks and a cheeky beat, the chorus is an sonic explosion of modern pop. With lively guitars, punchy drums and vibrant vocals, this is a thrilling tune.
