Our Musicians

Melissa Ivey
My Mel spirit is obviously restless. I’m fun, tough, a warrior, a caregiver, a discoverer, a server of the underserved, and some have called me a creative genius. My passions include helping others through difficult times, joyous occasions, and everything in between.
You can visit my fully immersive Recording Womb pop-up art installation, document your story, and record a message to your Future Ancestors at upcoming events.
I’m also actively advocating for Murdered Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW), LGBTQ+/QTPOC human rights, and preserving the birth traditions, ceremonies, and wisdom of Mexican midwives and Indigenous birthworkers. I serve as the Arts Education Director for Her Many Voices non-profit foundation.
You’ll find me doing Singing Mel-a-Grams up and down the Colorado front range and beyond! In fact, in our new virtual reality Mel-a-Grams can be done anywhere in the world to anyone you desire.
Otherwise, if you are expecting a new arrival, you can also work with me as your Musical Birth Doula. I have 8 years experience and have assisted in 30 births. I am LGBTQA+ safe, and work holistically with a variety of family dynamics.
That’s me and I’m here for you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
