Timeline
Mel Parsons (born 21 October 1981) is an indie folk and alternative country singer/songwriter from New Zealand.
Parsons grew up on a sheep and Beef farm in Cape Foulwind, near Westport, on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island.
Parsons started out playing piano, and also picked up the guitar at about 14, finally getting serious in seventh form (about age 17) when applying for the Nelson School of Music.
After a year of music school, Parsons went overseas for a period, then returned to New Zealand to attend the University of Auckland, where she studied popular music and performance, along with history, anthropology and Spanish.
Parsons has lived in various parts of the world.
She spent a year close to the Atacama Desert in Chile, and two years in the Rocky Mountains in Canada.
In 2007, Parsons returned to New Zealand to start work on her first album.
The album was written by Parsons, and recorded with co-producer Shaun Elley and her backing band, The Rhythm Kings.
The album Over My Shoulder was released in 2009.
Parsons created her own label, Cape Road Recordings, releasing her album independently while using the New Zealand music firm Border Music for distribution.
All of her albums have been released on her label.
The album was recorded in Studio One, Boatshed Studios, and The Spare Room, in Auckland, New Zealand.
Parsons recorded her third studio album, Drylands at Surgery Studios.
Parsons was invited to perform at the Folk Alliance International in 2014, 2015 and 2017.
Parsons has released her fifth studio album, Slow Burn, on 16 September 2022.
It contains the singles "Carry On", "Already Gone", and the title track "Slow Burn".
Parsons currently lives in Lyttelton, New Zealand.
She tours so frequently that she is rarely home.
Parsons was nominated for the following awards:
Parsons has won the following awards:
The album was engineered by Lee Prebble who, along with mixing engineer Oliver Harmer, won the 2015 New Zealand Music Awards for best engineer for the album.
One of the songs Parsons wrote was a duet, and she decided to cold e-mail Ron Sexsmith to see if he would perform the other half of the song "Don't Wait", and he agreed.
Another song on the album, "Get Out Alive", is the result of her writing about a dangerous car accident she was in where the car rolled four times and was totaled, but she walked out without serious injury, but found herself re-evaluating her life for a time.
Parsons released her fourth album, Glass Heart on 30 November 2018.
Glass Heart is the first album Parsons recorded outside of New Zealand.
It was recorded in the US in Santa Monica, California, with producer Mitchell Froom.
The logistics and finances made it impractical to bring her backing band over from New Zealand, so Froom recruited some local musicians to back Parsons on the album.
Parsons performs rural woolshed tours across New Zealand with Amelia Dunbar and Emma Newborn (The Bitches Box).
Although she sometimes tours by herself, and sometimes with her backing band, she has also joined a large New Zealand performance collective, Fly My Pretties.
She also has toured Australia with Anika Moa.
