reluctantly) - This is a close call because the singer has some notice in the industry, but I don't think it adds up to enough |notability in her own right. Most of the easily-found sources appear to be promotional reprints of press releases, often with adjectives like "inspirational" that are unlikely to be used by impartial journalists. She has been mentioned occasionally in stories about other things (e.g the Google Glass reference), and she won a Hollywood Music in Media Award but that fact is only mentioned on the organization's own website. Her non-profit group "Girl Geek Dinners NYC" also has no reliable media notice. Back around 2016 she got a few media mentions as a singer to watch, but little has happened since then. Searching is tough because "Melissa B." leads to a lot of other people with the same first name and middle initial, while her birth name "Melissa Walton" and another stage name "Melissa Bailey" don't lead to much specificity either. This is a very long vote because I really spent a lot of time trying to come up with some good sources for this singer, but all I found were |fragmented tidbits that just don't add up
