I have been recording, producing, and releasing my own music since 2021, as well as more recently starting to be involved with other artist&#8217;s music as a recording and\/or mixing engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-fira-code-font-family has-large-font-size\" style=\"margin-right:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">My first and main instrument is bass guitar, which I have been playing since I was around 12 years old and have become very proficient at playing. I started with both guitar and vocals at a similar time when I was 16 or 17, and I have since risen to a professional level with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-fira-code-font-family has-large-font-size\" style=\"margin-right:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">Currently, I write and record all music for <a href=\"https:\/\/wildflowerdoom.bandcamp.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/wildflowerdoom.bandcamp.com\/\">Wildflower<\/a>, my blackened doom band, and play bass with some backing vocals live. I am also the lead guitarist in <a href=\"https:\/\/galagh.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/galagh.com\/\">Galagh<\/a> and guitarist and vocalist for Cruiser Class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-fira-code-font-family has-large-font-size\" style=\"margin-right:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">I am available for audio work and session musician work, which you can enquire about on the <a href=\"https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/index.php\/contact\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"199\">Contact <\/a> page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003258-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"has-border-color wp-image-486\" style=\"border-color:#CBCBCB;border-width:10px;border-top-left-radius:2px;border-top-right-radius:2px;border-bottom-left-radius:2px;border-bottom-right-radius:2px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003258-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003258-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003258-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003258-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003258-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/354783662_295121699606368_3434012821986228903_n-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"has-border-color wp-image-496\" style=\"border-color:#CBCBCB;border-width:10px;border-top-left-radius:2px;border-top-right-radius:2px;border-bottom-left-radius:2px;border-bottom-right-radius:2px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/354783662_295121699606368_3434012821986228903_n-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/354783662_295121699606368_3434012821986228903_n-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/354783662_295121699606368_3434012821986228903_n-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/354783662_295121699606368_3434012821986228903_n-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/354783662_295121699606368_3434012821986228903_n.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003606-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"has-border-color wp-image-492\" style=\"border-color:#CBCBCB;border-width:10px;border-top-left-radius:2px;border-top-right-radius:2px;border-bottom-left-radius:2px;border-bottom-right-radius:2px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003606-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003606-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003606-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/melodyrawlins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20241224_003606-2.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am Melody Rawlins and I am a recording\/mixing engineer, bassist, guitarist, and harsh vocalist who specialises in all varieties of extreme metal.
