Leed, Melveen

Vocalist, Musician, Entertainer, Artist, Perfume Designer

"I recently saw Ms. Leed in performance with the Mâkaha Sons at Whittier College's Shannon Center. The ultimate polished and seasoned performer, she electrified the night!

She belts it out, growls, croons, purrs and soothes. Not only does she do a gorgeous hula, she's funny, cranking with the best of them. Even made Jerome shush -- if just for a while.

Multi-talented, she does it all with finesse. And "Da Tita" looks fabulous!" ~Aunty D
