During her college years, the eclectic young woman worked her way up from research director to music director at the local radio station WJPZ (Z89). In addition, Melantha was an on-air disc jockey during “The Slammin’ 7 @ 7” primetime slot and the “Danger Zone” mix show. She also served as an influential member of the student-run record label Marshall Street Records. Furthermore, Melantha interned at MBK Entertainment, home of artists including the multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Alicia Keys.
Upon graduation, Melantha moved to New York City and landed a job working in the Awards department at ASCAP. Shortly thereafter, she navigated her way to become the executive assistant for Chris Brown Entertainment and The Tina Davis Company. Melantha’s passion and work ethic contributed in a major way to Chris Brown’s success in becoming a superstar. In 2007, Melantha was introduced to the music industry veteran Shanti Das, who soon became her mentor. Melantha’s motivated and proactive attitude gave Shanti all the right reasons to extend her an invitation to join the marketing team at Universal Motown Records. Melantha poured her heart and creative mind into working on projects involving the marketing campaigns of artists including Akon, Ashanti, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, Stevie Wonder, Kid Cudi, Melanie Fiona, Kat DeLuna, Shontelle, and many more.
Melantha moved to Los Angeles in 2011 and joined the Title 9 Productions team, home to talent such as Grammy Award-winning artist Melanie Fiona and Grammy Award-winning artist and actress LeToya Luckett, in addition to singer-songwriters Andrea Martin and Angela Hunte. As a marketing manager, she was involved in a vast array of projects involving the company’s talent. More exclusively, Melantha served as LeToya Luckett’s day to day manager and road manager. In 2012, she also had the opportunity to reunite with the Chris Brown team and tour internationally. She served as VIP soundcheck and merchandise coordinator on Chris Brown’s Carpe Diem World Tour.
Branching into a new realm in 2014, Melantha joined the world’s largest LGBT organization. For the Los Angeles LGBT Center, she served as the strategic partnership manager where she cultivated and managed relationships with a multitude of talent and influencers and engaged them with the Center’s programs and services. Melantha also managed the development and implementation of community-building activities, events, and partnerships with a variety of prominent companies.
Whether working directly with a talent management team, at the corporate level via a record label, or at a nonprofit organization, Melantha has gained tremendous knowledge and first-hand proficiency throughout her impressive career. Melantha is using her passion, expertise, and vast experience on her journey with 1OFAKIND Entertainment.
