With her unique blend of pop, country, and indie, mella is a breath of fresh air in the Swiss music scene. As a newcomer with a deep passion for honest and emotional sounds, she brings a refreshing lightness to her songs.
mella, whose real name is Melissa Lara Bossart, is a pop and country singer and songwriter from the canton of Lucerne, Switzerland.
She has been surrounded by music from an early age: at just eight years old, she began making music herself, strongly influenced by a musical family in which both her grandfather and her mother were actively involved in music.
Her music is honest, direct, and emotional. She processes personal thoughts, emotions, and life experiences in her lyrics, creating a genuine connection with her listeners. mella’s songs are characterized by catchy melodies, combined with the warmth of country elements and the emotional depth of pop music.
Her previous releases include songs such as “Still Haven’t Found,” “Higher & Higher,” and “The Fire in the Sky.”
In the summer of 2025, she released her single “Not That Kinda Lady” (August 1, 2025). This track clearly reflects her artistic attitude: it is about self-reflection, the courage to stay true to oneself, and the refusal to bend in order to meet others’ expectations.
Currently, mella is working on her debut EP, which will offer further insight into her personal, powerful, and authentic sound.
