In this episode of Untidy, Matty and Hannah talk to the multi-award-winning singer, songwriter and musician, Mel Parsons. Mel has released six studio albums and is a full-time, self-employed, touring artist with her own production company. She is also a mother and stepmother to four young children alongside her partner, Josh.

Mel discusses the tenacity it has taken to pursue her musical career, choosing to have a relationship with uncertainty rather than the safety net of a ‘Plan B’, and how she honours both her passion for a creative career and being an engaged parent.

She talks candidly about what she’s had to confront and accept in herself along the way, how she can’t handle 17 conversations at once, what self-care looks like, and why a balanced perspective on fish fingers and cheese on toast is essential for living within reason.

Mel’s soulful, indie-folk music reflects a life lived with bold authentic expression in every facet. She’s witty, frank, and honest. This is a conversation that will validate and inspire!
