Macedo Music

Duality and individuality are overriding themes in the music of MACEDO, the surname of twin sisters Michelle and Melissa, who have taken a lifetime of creative energy and talent and produced their emotionally compelling, richly textured EP titled “Paper Doll”. Immersed in music and the arts at an early age, they nurtured their unique artistic leanings in close quarters both literally and psychologically. The concept of duality emerged in their work as they began confronting their individual identities. The girls are opposites in nature and temperament yet are connected by that inexplicable emotional bond only shared by twins. In addition, the concept of home and questions related to a sense of belonging come to the forefront as they navigate their multiracial background. While away at school on the East Coast, Michelle honed her songwriting producing a solo LP, La Luna , in her first year and in a subsequent flurry of creativity, wrote the bulk of the 2011 album Flags & Boxes mostly during her last semester. Armed with a full album of distinguished songs,Their first single to radio was the full band edit of Caught produced by Khris Kellow (Christina Aguilera), mixed by Mario Luccy (RealSongs) and mastered by Randy Sharp (Dixie Chicks). MACEDO received massive radio play both all across the country and internationally. Separating for extended lengths of time while they attended different colleges on the East Coast helped them establish separate identities that are apparent when they perform. This lends an exciting artistic tension to their accomplished show. The two decided to sing and write together because of their natural chemistry, the way their similar voices blend and the instinctive, seamless communication that had always been part of their musical lives. PAPER DOLL is based on the soulful tones of Michelle’s grand piano integrated with their breathtaking vocal harmonies. The sound is heavily based on their live shows which include cello, violin and organ. Paper Doll features a live and raw sound that one rarely hears in today’s music. Every instrument adds a layer of texture to the soothing vocal blends that Michelle and Melissa provide. Specializing in the harmonies, the duo was able to work as a conducive creative team. The upcoming full length album "Ghost Town" features the immeasurable creative growth of the duo since their last EP was released. The theme of a mystical creative utopia reflects the musical chemistry the girls are lucky enough to experience. All twelve songs (written by Michelle & Melissa) were engineered and produced by MJ Denton. Keyboards, drums, synths & organ parts were played and arranged by Khris Kellow (Christina Aguilera) and Ken Christianson. The truly one of a kind LP was mixed by Eric Milos at Clearlake Recording Studios. Macedo could not be more excited to share their new sound with the world. It should surprise no one that the album has been pronounced a virtual certainty to propel Michelle & Melissa into the first rank of modern female singers and songwriters, and Macedo, the group that they so capably lead, to the top of playlists the world over.
