Mele is the stage name of Marlene Schittenhelm, a German singer-songwriter and moderator known for her catchy German-language pop that blends 80s-inspired indie-pop with electronic and club influences. Since her 2017 debut EP, Mele has grown into a notable voice on German festival stages and media panels, earning a Grimme-Preis in 2022 as part of the Offen un’ ehrlich moderation team. Her first full-length album, Nichts macht Sinn, arrived in 2024 via Warner Music Central Europe, featuring singles like Liebe meines Lebens, Der Blick / Dein Herz ist zu, and Alle schauen. In 2025, Mele headlines the Alle schauen Tour across Germany, bringing her danceable, hook-driven sound to venues in cities from Nuremberg to Hamburg.
