From an early age Menelik moved around more than the average child. Born in East Palo Alto, attended elementary school in Corvallis, OR, yet raised in Oakland, CA. He likes to think this is what made the difference in his musical sound compared to that of the typical Bay Area artist. Although music was not always the end game for Menelik. He first ventured into the field from his enjoyment of making music videos for his sister. From there he decided to see what the other side of the camera was like because he knew he had a story to tell. The level of creativity in story telling sparked young when he began writing fictional narratives for class. Teachers always seemed to love the imagination he embodied yet it all seemed like it could possibly be true. This is because for the most part it was true. Pulling from real life experiences and of course movies he could deliver a message from a different view so that all could enjoy. One can hear the opposing side in different verses within the same song by Menelik. Just as they say there is no one way to do things, he says "there is no one way to see things". As a Bay Area native Menelik always knew that the things that made him different from his peers are what made him stand out. Hearing others say you talk different or dress different was more of an assurance than an insult. So he set out make music that came naturally only. If he is not automatically in love with the beat then he won't force the record. 'Snapbacks and Fitted Caps' was the first song that garnered attention from others. As calls began to come in about hearing the song in Santa Cruz, joy took over Menelik's face. This song was a feel good style, not for the club, yet still got the attention. Following the success of that song 'Back to Reality' became much bigger as it was bit more up tempo. Landing the video in rotation at Sheikh Shoe stores across the entire nation, now the ball was rolling. While working on an album Menelik dropped an EP entitled 'While You Wait' to not only give the fans something for the mean time but also help himself relieve some pressure on himself since he had recorded so many songs. As the Untitled album is still in the works Menelik will be releasing multiple 5 song EP's until it is ready. As recognition builds, musical talent grows and connections are made, the year of 2016 should be a great one.…From an early age Menelik moved around more than the average child.
