Bio

Mellik shares his musical narratives often entwined in autobiographical complications of love and queerness wherever he may be residing, whether that is in Denver or his childhood hometown in Connecticut. He can be found singing and strumming in intimate settings, from the college coffee house or the summer backyard venue.

Mellik graduated from the University of Denver in 2018 with a degree in Environmental Science. He is now pursuing a career in music while continuing work in the sciences. Since 2019, he has worked for City & County of Denver doing recycling education and outreach.

His close-knit family and their love of artists like Paul Simon, McCartney, Cat Stevens, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Steely Dan and Supertramp are roots for his understanding of song-writing and composition.

Throughout college he was oftentimes accompanied by his band Mel ‘n Heads, where eclectic folk was transformed into syncopated alternative pop that finds roots within blues, jazz and bluegrass.

Since the quarantine of 2020, Mellik has joined a group of musicians as a vocalist and guitarist in the band Rose Color Lens @RoseColorLensBand. Rose Color Lens is made up of members: Meghan Mallon, Jake Ortiz and Brock Merrick. RCL is an indie americana band that carries the angst of twenty somethings, curing it with soothing vocals and story lines to get lost in.
