Early Life and Education

Born on March 25, 1975, in Camden, London, Melanie Blatt has a diverse heritage, with a French mother and British father. Named after American folk singer Melanie Safka, she grew up with a younger sister named Jasmine. Melanie attended Fitzjohn's Primary School before moving to Sylvia Young Theatre School, where she played young Eponine in a production of "Les Misérables."

Career Beginnings

In 1993, Melanie joined her first band, Drive, under the name Melanie Guillaume. The band released the single "Curfew." She also provided backing vocals for Dreadzone and Denise van Outen.

All Saints

Melanie signed with ZTT Records in 1993 and formed All Saints 1.9.7.5 with Shaznay Lewis and Simone Rainford. After initial struggles, the group reformed with Nicole and Natalie Appleton, signing with London Records as All Saints. Their debut single, "I Know Where It's At," reached number four in the UK, followed by the hit "Never Ever," which gained international success. Their debut album "All Saints" featured further UK hits like "Bootie Call" and "Under the Bridge/Lady Marmalade."

The success continued with their second album "Saints & Sinners," which included the UK number-one singles "Pure Shores" and "Black Coffee." However, tension within the group led to a split in 2001. They briefly reunited in 2006, releasing the album "Studio 1," but disbanded again in 2009 after its lackluster performance. All Saints later reunited for live performances in 2014, followed by albums "Red Flag" in 2016 and "Testament" in 2018.
