Melanie Blatt made her name as part of top UK girl group All Saints, but following their split she launched a moderately successful solo career. Her musical style is influenced by Blackstreet, Stevie Wonder, R'n'B and hip-hop. Her outlook is also influenced by being the daughter of hippy parents who - when Melanie was six - camped out at the Glastonbury Festival for three days. Melanie went to Fitzjohn's Primary School where her musical talent was immediately noticed by the head teacher, David Joyne, who encouraged her parents to send her to a stage school.
