“If we as a culture can unite... imagine how much we could accomplish. ” - Cara-Mel
I Am...Cara-Mel
Cara-Mel, whose real name is Dana Lawrence is a female Hip Hop/Rap artist representing the Baltimore/Washington D.C. Metropolitan area known as the DMV. Her style can be best described as a blend of Hip Hop/R&B, Down South, and Dance meets Trap with a Social Justice aspect. Mel likes to sum it up as Conscious Trill.
The street promo song, “Broke” placed her on the map when it caught the attention of DJ SIDEREAL from Minnesota and landed a spot on the “Stamp of Approval” mixtape song bangers of the year in 2015. This song was written and recorded to reflect the frustrations of living check to check; which everyone can relate to at some point of their lives. Following her return to the music scene, she released “Back To The Grind;” a sneak peek of what was to come from the highly anticipated debut mixtape “Racial Profile,” which was released in September of 2016. Since then, Mel’s music has been placed on several mixtapes such as “Never Falling Off,” hosted by the On By Society Movement and DMV vs EVERYBODY 3, a popular DMV Music Plug local artist’s series.
In addition, she has landed magazine spreads from Mr. Dreamz to Poze Magazine, and this award winner also received recognition in the category for "Best Hip Hop Album Of The Year" at the X-Poze-ing Music Awards in 2018 for “Racial Profile.” Not only can this beautiful lady flow; but she is a singer-songwriter and saxophonist on a mission to bring change through song. And though this emerging artist strives to empower others across the globe; this quadruple talent has a unique style like no other that demands attention as she positions herself as a lyrical storyteller of our time.
