While her recording debut came at the age of eight, alongside her famous yodeling mother, Mary, Melinda Schneider has forged her own path since then. She's an Australian country singer with a great range and a respect for the women who have come before her. While her later material such as “Stronger” and “Wish You Were Here” veered towards middle-of-the-road pop, Schneider has also celebrated the life and music of Doris Day on Melinda Does Doris and collaborated with fellow Aussie singer Beccy Cole on Women of Country, paying tribute to those who paved the way.
