Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. Hey guys, it's Michelle Marie. I am here at the Q The Music Event celebrating the Grammy's with Melanie Fiona. Now, your single "It Kills Me" is about your ex-boyfriend. I've gotta be out of my mind cause I think it's gonna work this time. A part of me wants to leave. But the other side still believes. It kills me. To know how much I really love you. Every single girl out there is just like feelin', feelin' that breakup with your song.

That song I think is not just about my ex-boyfriend. I think it's about everybody's ex-boyfriend, everybody's ex-girlfriend, everybody who's ever been in a situation in love like I have where you know you felt that you've been tormented, like to stay or to leave but you're just really stuck in it because you love that person so much. And you know, expressing your feelings and just being honest I think is why the song is winning because people want to feel that they relate to you and they wanna feel like you go through the same things that they do and and I definitely do. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Also your sound is very unique. How do you actually describe your sound?

If I had to describe it I would call it pop soul. Um just because it's a little bit of something old and a little bit of something new which kinda describes the type of girl I am as well.

Now you collaborated with some people too as well. Tell us about that.

I've collaborated with some great people on my album, Andrea Martin, The Stereotypes, Fefe Dobson, um Angela Hunte as well as outside of that I've toured with Kanye West, I'm getting ready to tour with Alicia Keys.

Now, Alicia Keys, that's gonna be really exciting for you. She's phenomenal. How did that all come about?

I was told and I know it's true that they hand picked me to go on tour with her. What I love what Alicia Keys represents through her music and I just feel like the two of us on tour together will be really strong, very empowering.

Now, with your album The Bridge, you have just broke through with this mainstream success and it all kinda happened really quick. How did you actually deal with that? Because, you know, all of a sudden your life is just boom, it's changed.

Yeah, it it's definitely you know, there's a, there's a saying that it all it takes is one and um, you know, for me I had great success with my first single, "Give It To Me Right" and then "It Kills Me" hit on the charts and it really just brought attention I think to not only the first single but the rest of the album and people have really seen that it's more than just, you know, a couple singles. It really is a body of work. Uh something that I put a lot of hard work and uh and just, you know, integrity and honesty and real life into, so I made it from my heart for the people of real life to enjoy, so I hope they do.

When do you find time for yourself and if you do, what do you do?

I sleep. I try to eat, yeah. Um, you know, really truthfully, there's not much time. When I can find some time, I really just like to relax. You know, just really relax. I I I do, I'm into photography and I just I really like to chill out. I don't party much and just, you know, it's about taking in the simpler things of life.

Since you are the queen of, you know, helping those people get over a breakup by listening to your music, if you were to give them advice on what's to do to get over a breakup, what are your things or what is your formula? Do you have one?

I would say that my formula is it's supposed to hurt. It's not supposed to be easy and that's okay. So, do what you have to do to deal with it in that moment but know that there's a brighter side to it at the end. You'll be stronger, you'll be better and you'll be much smarter for it in the future.

Hey, what's going on Young Hollywood? This is Melanie Fiona. I wanna send a very special shout out to all of you for supporting my album The Bridge and uh I do this for us, so enjoy and I will see you guys very soon. Thanks for the support.
