MELANIE DENARD BIO:

MELANIE DENARD is the essence of the strong,independent woman who survives life's unpredictable seasons of love, heartache, divorce, and "starting over" and emerges stronger and wiser. Melanie says, "My heart can be broken but not my spirit. Life has taught me that I have to stand up for myself, especially in matters of the heart, and that's a hard lesson for a woman in love to learn. Sometimes a woman just has to reach down into her inner self and find some attitude and sass in order to survive with her heart intact and still be able to celebrate life. That's what my songs are about"

Melanie makes her home in Nashville since 2007. She is originally from the Kennesaw Mountain area of NW Georgia.
