Melanie Martinez has stretched, shaped, and molded alternative pop into an immersive, innovative, and inimitable world of her own design. Since emerging in 2012, the New York-born Latin-American singer, songwriter, director, and visionary has not only blurred the lines between genres, but also between reality and fantasy, beckoning audiences into the warm embrace of her singular artistry. Martinez broke ground with her now-iconic 2015 debut LP, Cry Baby. The 2x-Platinum album is home to the 3x-Platinum “Dollhouse,” 2x-Platinum staples “Pity Party,” “Play Date” “Pacify Her,” “Carousel,” “Mad Hatter,” and“Soap,” and Platinum favorites “Training Wheels,” “Sippy Cup,” “Alphabet Boy,” and “Tag, Your It.” After vaulting to #6 on the Billboard 200, this epic has gone on to log 208 non-consecutive weeks on the chart. In its wake, she notched two consecutive Top 3 debuts on the Billboard 200 with the Platinum-certified K-12 (2019) and PORTALS (2023) - the former alongside an accompanying musical film of the same name, and the latter of which bowed at #2 and spawned “VOID” and “DEATH,” her first original songs to debut on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2024, she embarked on her first-ever global arena headline run, The Trilogy Tour, packing legendary venues on multiple continents.
