It is hard to imagine an individual who has had more passion for working within the entertainment industry than Melantha Hodge. Her culturally diverse upbringing is expressed in everything she touches. Furthermore, embracing diversity is one of the main factors of her success as a businesswoman and as a key player in the success of talent, companies, and their respective clients and partners.
Melantha’s passion and interest for music and its business aspects were founded in the classroom. She received her educational background from Syracuse University, where she graduated in 2005 with a double major in marketing and finance and a minor in music industry. A natural go-getter, the clever scholar took advantage of the many opportunities available to students such as internships and participation in relevant events. While in college, Melantha lost her father to medical complications, an event that devastated her; nonetheless, provided her with the strength and courage to succeed in order to honor his memory. 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 sought to search for the best opportunity. She moved to New York City in search of adventure and to pursue her dreamed career. Her journey began 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. Such experience proved to be a pivoting point both personally and professionally as she learned tremendously, met amazing people, and walked away with immeasurable memories and experience.
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. A dream come true, 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 has taken full advantage of every opportunity and experience she has encountered. From 2011 to early 2015, Melantha was part of 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.
Since 2014 Melantha has been working at the Los Angeles LGBT Center, which is the largest LGBT organization in the world. She currently serves as the strategic partnership manager where she cultivates and manages relationships with a multitude of talent and influencers, as well as develops effective partnerships with a variety of prominent companies. Melantha has contributed to many successful events and has served as the planning committee chair for the Center’s Black History Month celebration from 2018 to 2020.
Whether working directly with a talent management team, at the corporate level via a record label, or at a non-profit 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. Her marketing and entertainment business provides guidance to talent, brands, and companies looking to increase their impact among consumers. The exceptional woman continues to navigate her way through the entertainment world as a prototype of thriving determination and continuous success.
