When I was searching for up and coming singers, Lijie’s face popped up on the www.yourmusicspot.com - a website dedicated to up and coming singers. As I listened to the other singers on the website, they sounded like basic everyday "trying to make it" singers. Lijie’s songs and poetry is beyond the other artists trying to make it big. I’m actually surprised she hasn’t yet! Her songs and poetry remind you of Sarah McLaughlin and Tory Amos... the relaxing peaceful music that just calms you down and helps you center yourself. Her song "Roam" right now is her best one out there. She is a very talented musician, songwriter, and beautiful singer. If you love Sarah McLaughlin, Tory Amos, Paula Cole, and Shawn Colvin, then you would absolutely LOVE Lijie. Take a listen... it’s worth your time! In the fall of 2003, veteran singer-songwriter Peter Malagodi told the forceful and creative drummer Kevin Jensen of his plans to form a band that would epitomize the spirit of a live show. The style they created was called "Soul N Roll," melding the power and beauty of classic Soul music with the drive and pace of Rock’n’Roll. Following the 2004 release of their critically acclaimed debut album, "Runnin’ Outta Daylight", the very funky Greg Reinauer joined the group on bass. His electrifying stage presence brought a new level of excitement to the show. Melodeego’s momentum escalated as the gritty and dynamic guitar ace, Mark Files Schwaller, added his axe to the Soul N Roll arsenal. Melodeego’s show continues to develop, filling every venue with energy, bringing every audience to life. The transformation from a fledging Boston band to the show-stopping powerhouse that packs the dance floor with uplifted crowds, has inspired Melodeego to push itself to higher realms of artistic expression. Lately, Melodeego has a profound new approach to focusing its energy and engaging an audience.
