THE SCOOP

Save to Locker

The start!
Being in High School, Brian registered for a vocal class, an easy credit. He could go to class, sing a bit and get an easy grade. That’s where Brian met a woman who would change his life forever: Linda Gatto, his vocal teacher. She was the first person to recognize his talent and did wonders to build confidence in his voice. Linda Gatto had connections and used her influence to have several of her students sing “choir-like” back up vocals for Shania Twain, on stage at Copps Coliseum. Cheering fans re-energized Brian’s dream of a career in music.

“That was the moment... that rush of hearing 20 thousand people screaming back at me…after that I knew I had to do this, somehow” Brian admits.

Canadian Idol 2007!

After high school finished, Brian took over as lead vocalist for Hamilton-based band Stoked. Stoked taught Brian the ropes. It was with this band that he learned stage movement. He continued to write songs and his vocal stamina steadily improved. Stoked was firing on all cylinders and was in fact in the recording studio putting together their debut CD when Brian let them know he passed the audition for Canadian Idol 2007. Over 2.75 million fans watched as Brian Melo was crowned the 2007 champion.

“6 months ago I was just a regular guy and no one knew my name. Now all of Canada knows my name! I am still a regular guy, just one who is signed to a major label. I’m living my dream.”

Hence the title of Melo’s debut LIVIN’ IT on SONY BMG (MUSIC) CANADA INC. released November 27, 2007. Brian will now take his 12 new songs from LIVIN’ IT and hit the road giving back to the people who have been a source of his motivation and pride.

Brian rocks! His music is so inspired and easy to listen to, every song comes straight from his heart. In a world of generic sound-alikes, he is definitely a breath of fresh air
