Not many seven-year-olds were fascinated with Prince's Purple Rain movie when it came out, but Chicago native Melody Angel was clearly an exception. With help from her mother, she learned to play acoustic guitar by watching music videos around the clock. The child of two musicians, Melody has developed a love and respect for multiple genres of music including Alternative Rock, Motown, Blues, Hip-Hop, and many more. This self-described free spirit at heart teaches skateboarding. Aside from her musical abilities, Melody would consider her biggest accomplishment to be her college degree in sports marketing.
