The beautiful and talented Melanie Fiona saw one of her dreams come true last night when she received her first Grammy nomination (Best Female R&B Vocal Performance) for “It Kills Me.” Here’s how Fiona reacted below:

“I cried the happiest tears of my life when I heard the news,” says Melanie Fiona. “This is something I have dreamed of my entire life. I am a new artist, and to be recognized by the Grammy committee as a nominee in the company of such talented and established artists is my highest honor. I truly feel like the little engine that could.”

CONGRATULATIONS! Her gradual rise to a place near the top is progressing along quite nicely and all we ask of her is that she remains down-to-earth and keep on creating timeless music.
