Recording Artist | Composer | Producer | Engineer

of les temps sont durs pour les rêveurs
Melody is fortunate enough to have a multifaceted artistic career:
Melody Nicolette Pilotte is a light lyric coloratura soprano based out of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Making original music under the electronic music project Le Bas-fond, she is an expressive soprano, as well as singer, songwriter, producer, and mixing engineer. While first and foremost a recording artist, she is also a composer, having credits in film and theatre (Off-Broadway). She prides herself being self-produced, mixed and mastered, as well as engineering for other artists. She is a member of the Alliance for Women Film Composers, the American Guild of Musical Artists, and a BMI songwriter.
As a professional visual artist working under her given name, Melody's art work has been featured in magazines, calendars, children's books, and cds.
She holds a BA from SFSU in American Indian Studies, with an emphasis in constitutional law, environmental justice and religious freedom (cum laude). She is non-status First Nations Abenaki and of the Indigenous peoples of Mexico. She is not in any way anyone's representative, she just hopes she does her Ancestors proud.
Proud founder and executive producer of Cutest Kids in Town Records.
