Mel was born in Indonesia and grew up in Australia. After graduating from university she started work in music television before moving on to produce and write a national radio show. Mel has also been managing bands since she was 16 years old and is now adding to that by opening an art gallery exhibiting art with music at its heart. Mel has always been obsessed with music and food. She is a pop culture queen – ask her about anything in pop culture but if it’s to do with politics, sports and world affairs then she’ll most likely get it wrong!
