‘I came to Second Life in January 2006. I was told about it by a very good friend of mine and became excited at the prospect of playing live music to a wonderful new audience.’
‘I was already playing my music on
other chat based programs, so Second Life was an extension of that.
‘I
like all kinds of music from the Carpenters to Extreme, Pearl Jam and heavy
rock. I don't really have a favorite; I just know what I like.’
Mel tells
us about her song writing, her work and her opinions regarding mixing real life
with Second Life:
‘For
The Longest Time and Unrequited Love. I think it's so much easier to write a
song about pain than it is about happiness.’
‘As
far as what goes into a performance, for me It's basically. Log into Second
Life, start the stream and away we go :)’
‘When
it comes to real life I'm very structured on keeping my values etc with me in
Second Life. Everything is black and white to me. I am married, therefore in
Second Life, I act as such.’
‘There
are no gray areas when it comes to me. That being said, I know there are people
behind every avatar. Not everyone is as honest as I am about who they are.’
‘I
fondly tell stories all the time of my real life experiences and day to day
life from home.’

Cheeky’s Bio:
‘I
bought my first guitar and began writing songs in March 2004. Seven years on
I've written 57 originals (most are available on iTunes, Amazon and on my
website etc) and 100's collaborations with artists worldwide.’
‘I
guess I learnt fast LOL. Born and bred in the welsh mountains (Wales, UK). I'm
a 33 year old singer, songwriter and musician. I reside in the hills of South
Wales with my 13 year old son (Thomas), my husband (Marc), our cats (Rascal,
Tiger, Tatty and Bloo) and our bird (Charlie).’
‘I
write my songs from my heart and soul - it's like my musical journal is on
public display. To get to know the real Mel, all you have to do is listen to
one of my songs. By listening to my music, my words, my voice, that's the best
biography you'll get about me.’

A few
words from other musicians -
========================================
Mel
Cheeky came into Second Life in January 2006 as one of the first musicians to
play on the grid. She was the first Welsh artist to perform in Second Life, and
also the first to do a whole set in Welsh.
During
this time, she has played hundreds, if not thousands of shows inworld. Loyal
fans request her songs on a regular basis - also 'the Welsh song'. Mel Cheeky
plays and sings originals songs, sometimes adding one or two covers for flavor.
The
woman behind the avatar is a very talented lady indeed. Melanie Fudge (Mel
Cheeky) has been playing guitar for seven years. During that time, the British
wonder has written a mammoth of songs.
57
originals and over 100's of collaborations with numerous artists worldwide. She
made the top 1500 songwriters at the Billboard awards in her first year of
songwriting.
She has
the most clear voice you'll ever hear, and THE most heartfelt songs. One
thing's for certain, once you hear this lady, you'll never forget her.
Once
dubbed the 'karaoke queen' on chat based programs such as Paltalk, Yahoo and
Skype - this wasn't enough for Mel, she has then gone on to break down every
musical barrier, and own each crown.
Karaoke
queen, songwriting queen and musician queen to name but a few. Never have I
heard anyone sing Acapella so perfectly, with perfect pitch to boot.
Thank you Mel. I really loved your performance, you have
a truly angelic voice and a great talent, and it was a pleasure to meet you.
Pandora.
