ABOUT ME

Music, Radio and TV has always played a big part in my life and for the past 15 years I have had the privilege to work with some of the best directors, producers and writers in these industries. The past year has been very eventful as I’ve been filming a TV pilot for my first comedy script. This has been a very exciting and challenging time in my career. Working with a television production team and filming with a wonderful cast of household names. I have also been recording an original soundtrack for the show which has broadened my horizons both on and off camera, giving me the opportunity to get back in the recording studio to write new music which is my first love and how this journey started. A huge thank you to each and everyone of you who has been involved to make this happen. More news will follow over the next few months. This journey started at 16 years old when I signed my first management deal as a singer songwriter after entering a nation wide competition for ‘songwriter of the year’. This lead to me writing my first album, touring with Top 40 artists and running my own recording studios. My writing has taken me on an amazing journey from song writing for new artists to script writing for TV concepts.

All of which I look forward to sharing with you…

Malissa is an incredibly talented and effervescent character. She fills a room with her smile and loving passion for music, creative writing and her zest and resilience for life.
