Michelle Melo
Michelle de Melo Borba (born May 1, 1980), better known by her stage name Michelle Melo, is a Brazilian singer of brega music from the state of Pernambuco. She achieved local celebrity status when she was the lead singer of Banda Metade in the early 2000s, when she performed songs with sensual themes, marked by whispers and moans. Lua de Mel, Baby Doll and Lipstick are some of her main hits.
Melo was one of the first female vocalists of brega music to be successful in Pernambuco. Due to her pioneering spirit, sensual music, daring performances and blonde hair, the Recife native came to be known as Madonna do Brega or Madonna de Pernambuco. It also received the nickname Rainha do Brega, given by fellow countryman Reginaldo Rossi, widely known as Rei do Brega. Currently, the singer is one of the voices that defends brega music as a cultural heritage of the state of Pernambuco.
