Mélat
Summary
Mélat is a first-generation Ethiopian-American singer-songwriter born and raised in Austin, Texas, whose music bridges soul, R&B, and cinematic pop with threads of her Ethiopian heritage and mother tongue woven throughout. She tells stories of love, identity, and self-discovery, intimate in feeling, expansive in reach. She has headlined nationally, opened for acclaimed artists including Macy Gray, Thundercat, PJ Morton, and Kool & The Gang, among many others, and twice performed at the Kennedy Center for UNHCR's World Refugee Day. She opens each Austin FC season with the national anthem, appeared alongside Matthew McConaughey as part of the Bless the Mood anthem for the University of Texas Men's Basketball team at the Moody Center, MC'd the 2025 MLS All-Star Celebration in Austin, and has been featured in Billboard, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Essence, Vibe, and more. Her world feels both grounded and otherworldly, because it is.
