Welcome to the official site for the Vancouver based duo, MELIAH. Since early 2010, members Melissa Endean and Leah Mertz have been creating their own style of music described as ‘indie-country-hip-hop all cozied up into a pop song’.

Their voices blend amazingly well together and the harmonies will give even the warmest listener a chill. Fresh, innovative, and with only up to go, MELIAH is the newest sensation to step out onto the Canadian music scene.

Posted on 26-06-2011

What an exciting, crazy, whirlwind of a month!
We’re actually so close to the finish line now…it’s amazing.  After so much time and work, the tracks are nearly finished.  Of course we had so much help from so many incredible people- and I know Leah would agree with me in saying it would have been impossible [...]

Hope you are all well. We’ve reached a point here on the West coast where Spring has sprung in full force! It’s been so nice to spend more time in the sunshine and continually be inspired by the beauty we are all so lucky to be surrounded by- people AND places.

Nearly there!!

Posted on 23-03-2011

It has been a crazy, hectic week!  Who knew making an album could be so much work?
Unfortunately, the sad news is we didn’t make our deadline of March 21st.  We wanted to have all the tracks recorded, mixed, and ready to go to mastering by then, buuuut we ran into some technical glitches that made [...]

We’re slowly making [...]
