Hire Melissa Manchester:
Grammy Award-winning artist Melissa Manchester was born in New York, where her father was a bassoonist for the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. He introduced her to all the classics, and by the age of 15, Melissa was already a published poet.
After graduating from the High School of the Performing Arts (where she studied acting), Melissa entered New York University and enrolled in a songwriting class taught by Paul Simon. She landed a staff writing job at Chappell Music and performed as a solo singer/pianist in the clubs of Greenwich Village and Manhattan’s Upper West Side, where she met Bette Midler.
As a backup singer for Bette, Melissa fulfilled her childhood fantasy of playing New York’s Carnegie Hall. Six months later, she had a recording contract, and shortly thereafter, she was headlining Carnegie Hall and performing for sold-out audiences.

Melissa’s albums have served to establish her as one of the most compelling singer/songwriters in contemporary music. Her debut albums “Home to Myself” and “Bright Eyes,” positioned her as a dynamic new talent, and her album “Melissa” launched the smash hit single “Midnight Blue.”
“Lovers After All” (from her “For the Working Girl” LP), the sensual ballad that she wrote and performed as a duet with Peabo Bryson, was a hit on both the Pop and R&B charts. Melissa Manchester and Kenny Loggins also co-wrote “Whenever I Call You Friend,” which has become a radio classic.

Melissa released her first Christmas album on Angel/EMI Records. The CD, entitled “You,” was hailed by the New York Times as “a heartfelt Christmas album that sounds classic on first listen”.
In yet another career first, Melissa wrote the musical “I Sent a Letter To My Love,” based on the acclaimed Bernice Rubens novel of the same name. She performed the leading role in a National Public Radio broadcast premiere in 1998.
Melissa Manchester returned to the stage in March of 1999, when she co-starred with Kelsey Grammer (“Frasier“), in Stephen Sondheim’s acclaimed musical “Sweeney” at The Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE MELISSA MANCHESTER?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire MELISSA MANCHESTER for an event?)
(i.e., what is MELISSA MANCHESTER booking fee to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for MELISSA MANCHESTER, or any other celebrity, are determined based on a number of factors and may change at any time without prior notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist’s calendar, whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the artist’s concerts, the current demand for the artist’s music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist’s price to increase as the artist becomes more popular or decrease when the artist becomes less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at any time. Generally, the artist’s manager has a role in the decision to accept any particular offer from a talent buyer.
