Read Full BioMelanie Adele Martinez (born April 28, 1995), known professionally as Melanie Martinez, is an American singer, songwriter, artist, film director, music video director, actress, model and photographer.

Born in Astoria, Queens and raised in Baldwin, New York on Long Island, she first participated in the MSG Varsity Talent Show during her junior year of high school, and subsequently rose to prominence in 2012 after appearing on the American television vocal talent show The Voice. She auditioned singing Britney Spears's Toxic, and made it to the Top 6 before being eliminated in the fifth week of live shows.

Immediately following her departure from the show, she began independent work on original material. Having been a fan favorite, she was heavily supported by fans, and produced her first music video for her single, Dollhouse. The song was written in October 2013 by Martinez and was produced by production duo Kinetics & One Love.

Signing to Atlantic Records soon after, she released her debut EP, Dollhouse (2014). The EP had 2 singles, Dollhouse & Carousel.

Martinez later released her debut studio album, Cry Baby (2015), which debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the RIAA. It currently has 1.3 billion streams on Spotify and 11/16 of the album tracks are certified by the RIAA.

Martinez is often cited as one of the only major successes of The Voice. Her music mostly revolves around the protagonist of her concept album, Cry Baby, and discusses themes of family disputes, body image, romance, and coming-of-age. She is known for her two-toned hair and her dark lyrics concepts.

Pity Party
by Melanie Martinez

Did my invitations disappear
Why'd I put my heart on every cursive letter?
Tell me why the hell no one is here
Tell me what to do to make it all feel better

Maybe it's a cruel joke on me
Whatever, whatever
Just means there's way more cake for me
Forever, forever

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (cry, cry, cry)
I'll cry until the candles burn down this place
I'll cry until my pity party's in flames
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (cry, cry, cry)
I'll cry until the candles burn down this place
I'll cry until my pity party's in flames

Maybe if I knew all of them well
I wouldn't have been trapped inside this hell that holds me
Maybe if I casted out a spell
But told them decorations were in pastel ribbons

Maybe it's a cruel joke on me
Whatever, whatever
Just means there's way more cake for me
Forever, forever

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (cry, cry, cry)
I'll cry until the candles burn down this place
I'll cry until my pity party's in flames

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (cry, cry, cry)
I'll cry until the candles burn down this place
I'll cry until my pity party's in flames

I'm laughing, I'm crying
It feels like I'm dying
I'm laughing, I'm crying
It feels like I'm dying
I'm laughing, I'm crying
It feels like I'm dying
I'm dying, I'm dying
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to (want to, want to)
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (cry, cry, cry)
I'll cry until the candles burn down this place
I'll cry until my pity party's in flames

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (cry, cry, cry)
I'll cry until the candles burn down this place
I'll cry until my pity party's in flames

It's my party, it's, it's my party
It's my party, it's, it's my party
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to (cry, cry, cry)
