MelinaLys

Ottawa, Canada

Born by the ocean in Arcachon, France and now rooted in Ottawa, Canada, Melina Lys writes songs that travel, across cultures, across emotions, across languages. Her Spanish heritage, her Serbian family, and the voices of friends from around the world weave naturally into her music a borderless identity. Songwriting began as a heartfelt gesture: personal melodies offered as gifts. But what started small unfolded into a passion, a way to capture stories, memories, and feelings through sound. With an open mind and new creative tools, including AI, Melina embraces musical freedom, exploring genre without limits. At the heart of her work is LOVE; love of family, love of connection, love of humanity. Her songs are invitations: slow down, feel deeply, and remember that love is still the most powerful language we share.
