Melody Swink, The D-Cup Diatribes

Melody Swink, Chicago jazz recording artist and writer has now turned her prodigious talents to the theatrical stage. Creating a quirky one-woman show based on the lives of seven dynamic and courageous women and a young girl… each with her own unique impressions of pop media representation, body consciousness, even bra size and the triumphant stories of breast cancer survivors. Melody’s collection of monologues is a powerful and poignant look at female life in a youth-weight-cleavage-conscious culture! Swink penned every word on her passionate debut CD, entitled “Travel me". Melody’s provocative life experiences immerse the listener in her world of lost love, desire and most inspiring; her songs of rebirth and self-reliance. Her follow-up jazz/pop release “Today is Someday” was crafted with master music producer, Vince Lawrence, and features stellar performances by 3 Time Grammy Award Winner, Ramsey Lewis. This recording broadened her creative realm to include 2 CD’s of Jazz and Dance tracks in a groundbreaking photo montage art book, hailed as a“Grammy Award contender” by Urban Network Magazine and Art Directed by Melody. Melody reveals, “I don”t see creative borders or boundaries - only frontiers... and I keep walking!” Melody lives with her dog, Reve, and spends her time songwriting, writing poetry, books, plays, music and is a an accomplished artist, photographer and creator of perfumes... and whatever else distracts her. Swink says, “Its a humbling honor to be in partnership with The American Cancer Society, and in the past with such worthy organizations as Deborah’s Place Shelter, The Breast Cancer Network of Strength, and charities for homeless women and their children.”
