About
A Brooks native, composer and pianist Melody Lo has a passion for music ever since she was a child. With over 15 years of playing experience, she holds an RCM level 10 certificate and passed her ARCT in piano performance playing exam. She has studied under mentors such as Edwin Gnandt, Mboya Nicholson, and Chris Andrew. She has some experience with freelance arranging work, bringing a client’s idea to life into sheet music and DAW demos. This inspired her to pursue composition over performing.
Her compositions are rooted in Romantic lyricism and emotional clarity, coupled with the narrative shaping and harmonic colour of traditional Disney and musical theatre.
Melody is completing her Bachelor of Music at MacEwan University, where she also earned a diploma in composition. Outside her work, she enjoys playing video games, wall climbing, shopping, drawing, and watching movies — influences that often find their way into her creative world.

Depression is an invisible monster.. an ongoing personal battle with yourself. Although we may be aware of the importance of mental health, society yet has some catching up to do. Especially in women, we are often under a lot of pressure from different expectations.. keeping the smiley facade, being pretty while smart at the same time. We also juggle between caretaking and our careers, yet most of our issues aren't being taken as seriously as men's. ✍️ In lieu of this, I composed a song based on experiences from myself and other women. Featuring the talented vocalist Natalia Ungstad, this song is inspired by Schubert's lieder style, Claude Michel Schöneberg (Les Miserables) and Beethoven's tumultuous musical anguish, An Invisible Monster is soon to be released! vocal classicalmusic depression pianist
