Meel Vignetting fronts the South African four-piece Indie Rock Band of the same name. Their music takes listeners on a rocking journey through life’s most challenging and most beautiful adventures, exploring art through self, and defining self through art.
Meel Vignetting has been playing guitar since the age of six, singing since eight, and writing original music since about twelve. She feels music is the only way to truly express herself without question.
As an introvert, getting on stage is one of the scariest things on earth, but she loves the challenge of letting go on stage, and every time outgrows the challenge. Music moves within her like blood through her veins. If her ordinary self was Bruce Wayne, Meel Vignetting would be her Batman.
