Melanie Martinez

Melanie Martinez, born in 1995 in Astoria, Queens, New York, USA, is a unique blend of filmmaker, singer, and songwriter, best known for her distinctive audio-visual projects. Since her directorial debut in 2015, she has majorly worked in musical and experimental genres, most notably her film "K-12", a surrealist musical drama that complements her sophomore album of the same name. Though her films have yet to garner awards at major festivals, her work is highly recognized for its pastel, dollhouse aesthetics, and darkly thematic elements, reflecting on societal norms and personal experiences.

Melanie, with her cotton-candy universe and unflinching gaze at complex issues, has a knack for turning her vibrant imagination into a unique cinematic experience that resonates with her audience.
