. . .This strongly resonates with MELTEM, who started singing at the age of four. She always stood out as a musically talented child and performed in front of people from a young age. This has shaped her into a natural singer with honest expression and genuine self-confidence.​

 

MELTEM is mostly known for being from the heart and versatile. Specialising in the rock & metal genres, she can be easily distinguished with her mature tone, power and solid vibrato. Her most prominent style is working on contrasts, using deep and dark tones as a basis to let her lighter side shine through. She is focused on emotionally charged melodies as well as being a tasteful performer of raw rock tones and screams.​ 

​

MELTEM’s stage presence is engaging and transmits energy and passion to people. Her live performances are described as energising and mood lifting. Her ballad performances create emotional triggers and have cathartic effect on her listeners.​ As a firm believer in the power of music, authenticity is her key priority.  MELTEM is an empowering figure, especially in the London rock music scene, inspiring more women to become rock singers. She is also influential for young audiences by passing on her knowledge of non-mainstream music with her choice of rare covers.
