Melanie Hardage is an American western classically trained pianist. She writes and performs original music which has been described as “moody and flowing,” and “Rachmaninoff meets Tori Amos in an art museum.” Her training in Western classical music informs her original compositions which include free-form improvisations on a theme, expressive interpretations, and playing with “aplomb and in a virtuosic manner.” Melanie moved to India in 2016 and began collaborating with Indian musicians, namely renowned Indian guitarist, Susmit Sen, which opened a new door for creativity and expression. Featured in Rock Street Journal as a female artist who “smashed gender barriers,” Melanie has represented Amnesty International and Yamaha Music during her time in India. She has been a private piano and voice instructor with studios in New York, Rhode Island, Mississippi and India; and conducted student choirs in both the US and India.
