About Melissa Lucciola

HI! I'm Mel, the host of What It Takes To Be A Rockstar podcast as well as an international touring musician. I am passionate about bringing musicians' stories to the light to showcase the sacrifices they have made to do music. I am talking with musicians about their behind-the-scenes lives, finding out how they make it all work financially and beyond in a world where it's tough to make it as a working musician.

I do my podcast completely for free. Any contributions made toward the podcast would be greatly appreciated and help me be able to take more time on the episodes and make them even better.

Thank you for your support! If you cannot contribute at this time, just sharing or subscribing goes a long way as well.

Thank you!

Your podcast inspired me to start exploring how to put on a DIY show in my community to bridge a huge gap in our music scene. I'm not a musician and have learned so much from you and your guests, with a new level of appreciation for all you put into your work. It's also been a great escape during troubling times. Thank you, Mel!
