My name is Melanie Lynn Berhorst.
 I was born and raised in St. Martins, a small town in MO. 
As a child I always sang to the radio and added harmonies.
 I also would sing and dance to records with two of my sisters, 
we would pretend we were singing to an audience.
 I wanted to sing back up with my older sister, 
who was recording in Nashville 
but I was too young at the time.
 By the time I was old enough to sing with her,
 she passed away from cancer.
 I have the music she wrote 
and would like to record some of her songs someday.
 I have been singing at church for 15 years
 and in public at small gatherings for approximately three years.
 I grew up on traditional country music 
and a life long dream of pursing a career in this industry.
 I have teamed with DJ (Don Joy) approximately a year ago 
and since that time I have been to Nashville twice. 
We are now Don And Mel, the traditional country duo.
We will have a new CD out shortly.
 Don and I have also recorded a tribute album to Wade Jackson,
 whom I love dearly.
 We have also performed at various venues 
and are pursing our dreams with vigor.
 Country Music has been my life and I love what I'm doing.
