Summary

Growing up on her family's farm in Mount Russell, regional Australia, Melanie Dyer started crafting her stories into songs at the age of twelve. With an authentic blend of her down-to-earth farm girl roots, dynamic stage presence and catchy contemporary songwriting chops, Melanie has performed at some of the world's biggest country festivals, including CMA Fest in Nashville, CMC Rocks, and the Big Red Bash in Australia. As a talented artist and songwriter, Melanie has racked up multiple #1 country radio hits and earned three nominations for Most Performed Country Work at the APRA Awards. With over 12.5 million streams, her chart-topping albums Fresh and Between You and Me have garnered her prestigious Golden Guitar nominations and the coveted APRA Professional Development Award. Her breakout hit Memphis T-Shirt catapulted her into the mainstream spotlight on commercial radio networks and a remarkable six-week stint at number one on the Australian Country Hot 50 Chart. In 2025 Melanie relocated to Nashville, Tennessee to chase her dreams of building a global audience and sharing her music across the USA.
