Gianna Melendez-Lopez

My future is going to be very bright. I hope I'm on the path to greatness. My journey is just beginning.

I'm an aspiring singer. People have said my vocals remind them of Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey. I won an award for singing during the quarantine era, and I was invited to sing in person at the ceremony, but it was canceled, due to COVID.

The most important people in my life are my parents, and siblings. They have always been there for me, since I was a little girl. They also always keep it real with me, which I always appreciate.

My goals in life are being independent. I don’t need a man. I want to be successful, and to be happy. I also want to have a secure job that has great income and benefits. And live in a good house, in a safe neighborhood environment.

What motivates me is my future I also want to prove people wrong, and show everyone I can actually make it.
