Melanie Martinez, born in 1995. first appeared on Voice in 2012 showing off her amazing singing and performance skills. Till this day onward people around the country started to recognize Melanie Martinez for her unique vocal skills and lyrics.
Later on she came out with her iconic first album Crybaby! Crybaby produced by Atlantic Records consisted of many topics including family life (everyone has their problems), love (First love encounter), break up/heart break, no one being there, jealousy, and plastic surgery. Melanie states that “crybaby is a character that is based off of myself” she continues on explaining that not everything that happens to crybaby happened to her.
While this was her first album Crybaby was also her most successful selling over 3,000,000 copies worldwide.
Continuing on with Crybabies journey Melanie came out with her next album K-12 which is supposed to be a reflection of some of the struggles students have during school. This consists of insecurity, bullying, body shaming, love, friends, and unwanted drama.

Along with that this is Melanie’s first time working alone in the studio room. Just a book and a pencil… Calling it intimidating.
A Student council member Kristen J stated, “Crybaby is good for a child. It’s more relatable for children that have issues throughout their family”. She continues explaining, “While K-12 and Portals is better for teens since the album consists of topics for an older audience!”
