Melvin Leonard Bio
Arist, Producer
Melvin Leonard hails from the colorful southern city of New Orleans, Louisiana. His grandfather, Walter Manaday played drums for Louis Armstrong, and his mother, Mary Sterling Leonard played honky-tonk blues piano and in church, along with having a superb velvet voice. Melvin grabbed a pair of drumsticks before he grabbed his first bottle and he has been pounding out rhythms for as long as he could remember. Singing at church and other events, at the tender age of 10, these talents began to develop Melvinâs childhood with music, song and appreciation for the unique southern sound named âfunkâ.

His professional career started in the internationally acclaimed nightclubs of the New Orleans French Quarter. As a singer, songwriter and producer, Melvinâs style of singing is funky and he is likely to become one of the hottest stars of the R&B world.

Melvinâs first new CD release was titled the âMelvin Leonard: The Prince of the Bluesâ in 1996. It got a lot of appreciation and took off like a rocket. The songs on this CD are:

⢠One Woman with Two Men
⢠Iâm A Fool for You Baby, But Mama Didnât Raise No Fool
⢠Iâm Your Blues Man Baby
