She taught herself how to play guitar a year later as a four-year-old. 
As a sophomore in high school, she won the Baldwin Senior High School’s 
Talent Show.
== The Voice ==
Melanie Martinez appeared on The Voice during season 3. She sang Toxic
 by Britney Spears for her Blind Audition, and turned three chairs: Adam
 Levine, CeeLo Green, and Blake Shelton. Martinez chose Levine, and then
 moved on to the battle rounds. She competed with Caitlin Michele with 
the song, Lights. Levine chose Martinez, who moved on to the knockout rounds.
During the knockout rounds, Martinez was paired with Sam James, and Martinez chose to sing Bulletproof. Again, Levine chose Martinez, who moved on to the live rounds. Martinez chose to sing Hit The Road Jack
 for the first week of the live rounds. Public vote did not save her, 
but Levine picked Martinez to keep on his team. Martinez went on to the 
second week of the live rounds, where she sang Cough Syrup. This time, public vote did save her, so she moved on to week three with Seven Nation Army. Seven Nation Army
 was in the top ten on iTunes, so Martinez got her iTunes votes 
multiplied by ten. Martinez got to move on to the fourth week of the 
live rounds, where her song was Too Close.
 Again, the song moved into the top ten on iTunes, so she had her iTunes
 votes multiplied by ten. Martinez then moved into week 5, which is the 
top 6.
Starting in week 5, singers of The Voice have two songs to sing. For those songs, Martinez picked Crazy and Levine picked The Show for her. Neither of her songs appeared in the top ten on iTunes and Martinez was eliminated.
After her performance of The Show Christina picked on Melanie causing Melanie to look a bit upset. 
== Dollhouse EP ==
After The Voice, Melanie Martinez released a new hit single called Dollhouse on
 February 9th, 2014 along with a music video. The song was said to be 
about a family that looks perfect from the outside, but has many 
problems going on in the inside. Soon after, Melanie Martinez released 
the Dollhouse EP on May 19th, 2014 which included Dollhouse and its music video, Carousel, which later received a music video in October of that year, Dead to Me, and Bittersweet Tragedy. The EP is mostly about a relationship that doesn't work out, excluding Dollhouse.
== American Horror Story and Carousel ==
