As a teenager cutting her teeth in the dark, seedy clubs of the Atlanta music scene, Melody Kiser realized two undoubtable truths: everyone has a story, and Melody was destined to tell these stories through music.

Raised in a musical family, Melody has been passionate and excited about music from as early as she can remember. She became serious about her musical aspirations when she was gifted an electric guitar for her ninth birthday. Inspired by bands like Led Zeppelin, Heart, Journey, and many others, Melody quickly developed an affinity for rock and blues music. Since then, she has also developed fluency in folk, pop, soul, and jazz. She can perform electric guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals, and alto saxophone at a professional level.  

Melody began performing in Atlanta clubs and posting videos on YouTube at age 12, laying the foundation for an international community of fans. Melody has since performed with members of Journey, Steppenwolf, Boston, Toto, Santana, .38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Zac Brown Band, Collective Soul, and Joan Osbourne. She has been a featured artist on several music cruises alongside artists like Melissa Etheridge and Nancy Wilson of Heart. She has also worked as a session musician for local, regional, and national recording artists. 

As the founder and leader of her own band, HeyDreamer, Melody has written and recorded two albums. HeyDreamer’s latest album, Dances in Wonderland, was produced by Will Turpin of Collective Soul. HeyDreamer are actively touring, performing, and recording in 2024.
