T’Melle, the newly-minted “Bad Girl” of music, put on a pretty dope show in front of a packed house at her recent showcase at SOB’s in New York. The singer, songwriter and dancer performed her sexy new hit single “Drop It Down” for industry executives, tastemakers and celebs. The Atlanta-raised artist, who got her start as the protegè of TLC superstar Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, has arguably taken over the indie music scene with her undeniable talent and amazing story of survival.

In a recent interview, T’Melle unveiled how she suffered near death injuries as a passenger in the fatal crash that took Lopes’ life.  After over 10 years of recovery and rehab, the rising star denied the odds against her to learn how to walk, run and dance again. “I’m the girl that people told to quit and that this wasn’t going to happen for me. I’m the girl who’s been told ‘No’ way more than the word yes! I believed! I still believe!” T’Melle says.

Since reviving her solo career, T’Melle has worked with producers the likes of Usher Raymond, Tricky Stewart, Bryan Cox, and Rodney Jenkins. Now with her sultry new single and video for “Drop It Down” in rotation on Revolt TV and on VEVO, T’Melle appears to be back where she belongs. Keep up with what’s new with T’Melle on Instagram and Twitter: @ItsTMelle
