Melissa is 19 years old and recently wrote and recorded a 10 track pop album titled, "My
Arrival."  Singing and music were always a part of her life, something she did, because it
came natural, it was fun, and she loved it!  She wrote her very first song at 8 years old
and her second song at age 9; both of these went on to win awards.  In her teens she
began writing again,  and in January of 2007 Melissa released her first track,  "Forever
Ends Today," on Myspace.  It was very well received, and she continued her writing and
recording.  In June of 2007 was the release of her CD  "My Arrival."  Along the way,
Melissa filmed a music video for "Forever Ends Today," which can be checked out on
her webpage, www.melissagundersen.com or her myspace page,

performances.
In addition to singing and songwriting, Melissa is an actress.  She has worked on
various networks, including Discovery Channel and ABC.  In June of 2007 she was part
of the musical on One Life To Live, where her dancing talents were featured.  Melissa
has had dance training for 12 years, plays the piano, is a black belt in karate, a figure
skater, and ice dancer . Melissa is a bubbly, outgoing, and loving-life kind of girl. Her
talent, strong work ethic, and family support made her who she is today.  This is only the
beginning of Melissa's journey, stay tuned for more great things to come!
