The #Incredible Story So Far

I'm Meljoann, the only living hyperjack music producer and video artist. Which is a bad thing.

Let's work backwards from now, to relive the incredible events that brought me to this incredible state.

Two Incredible Singles are Released in 2022

Last year, I released two incredible singles. Secondly, Secrets.

Firstly, Rainbow Language (is for Losers). This was with support from the legends at Help Musicians. I also got some free therapy and let me tell you, I needed it.

My Incredible Album 'H.R.' Receives a Glowing Review in Pitchfork

In 2021, I released H.R., an album that got a good review in Pitchfork. I hardly every mention that H.R. got a great review in Pitchfork, yet here we are.

'H.R.' and its Sensational Singles

To celebrate my sensational album, I emitted a single called Overtime.

Then, I excreted the incredible I Quit.

Four Incredibly Stunning Music Videos from the Pitchfork-supported Album 'H.R.'

In 2020, I released a series of videos. Funding for this was kindly provided by the Arts Council of England. Those vids were Company Retreat, O Supervisor, Business Card, and Trophy Wife.

Go on, click the links. These music videos are stunning, and hosted on Peertube so I'm not even monetising or tracking you.

I also started working with the lovely Dwayne from Butter Wouldn't Melt, who later became my manager.

Mustics®

Around this time, I became involved with a mind-expanding new lifestyle brand called Mustics®. I am proud to say I work as an unpaid volunteer for them, to this day.

An Underappreciated Work of Pure Genius

In 2012, I finished making an album called Masterkinder: Rainbows of my Mind - Scout Hardcastle. The artwork is by Lisa Crowne, and Liezl Erasmus was the photographer. We giggled a lot.

I played a lot of gigs in drag, impersonating someone that can only be described as Scout Hardcastle. In retrospect, I don't think that was what a move the Music Industry expected from an "emerging Irish female artist", and I began a rapid descent into even lower depths than I had sunk to previously.

Farewell to the girls of Old Ireland

I moved to Brighton in 2012, with my partner and label-mate Brontis (aka Herv). I released the Scout Hardcastle album in 2014, on Boy Scout Audio.

In England, I had several terrible jobs: a call centre (full terrible), vintage clothes shops (nice customers, terrible boss), bartending (nice boss, some terrible customers).

Don't worry, I get my musical revenge later -- in the form of a Pitchfork-approved album, that will go on to rack up I don't know... like 40k streams. Incredible.

A Glorious Gem of a Debut Album: 'Squick'

Before that, in 2010 I released Squick. The artwork is again by the brilliant Lisa Crowne of A4 Sounds. Nialler9 done us a premiere.

I was living in Dublin at the time, and played lot of gigs. The lovely Freda from Poster Fish booked a fun Irish tour. They even let me on Irish telly once, which is quite funny.

A Taste-Whetting Debut EP: 'Tour Guide'

In 2008 I put my first EP, Tour Guide up on my own website, and put it out on my label in 2009. The artwork is by my mate Sarah Mixtapes.

I made the EP while working at a nice, sadly now closed vintage clothes shop in Temple Bar called The Eager Beaver. One of my first gigs playing Tour Guide was at the local anarchist community centre, Seomra Spraoi. This later opened as a music venue called Jigsaw, also sadly now closed.

Luckily, Dublin alternative culture has now been replaced by hotels and luxury apartments no-one can afford to live in. Incredible.

Interesting Closing Remarks Regarding Myself

I make all my own music and videos in my sitting room. I run my own label called Boy Scout Audio.

I mean I could tell you some more stuff, but then there'd be nothing left for my forthcoming tell-all celebrity memoir.

This has been absolutely incredible. Goodbye.
