Chris Melville is a classic jazz and soul singer who cites Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald as his major influences. With his warm, velvet vocal delivery he sings classic jazz songs from a mid-century era of style and sophistication, an ideal soundtrack for weddings and corporate events.

With 20 years of performance experience at weddings, corporate functions and cocktail parties, Chris has played for a stellar client list worldwide. He can perform as a feature singer or as background music, and is highly versatile.

Chris is Auckland-based but open to travelling for performances. He provides a PA, computer and lighting, so is self contained for up to 400pax.

“Michael Buble... watch out, this guy is amazing! If you want entertainment for a ceremony or reception he comes with my full endorsement.”
- Lisa Hill, Beautiful Events, Eagle’s Nest, Russell

“Chris was an absolute class act. Not only was his performance top notch, he was also such a pleasure to deal with 100% of the time. He was most accommodating with every request and just wanted to make sure the event ran smoothly. A big thanks Chris, you made the night!”
- Manasvi Narula, Auckland Wedding

“Chris was AMAZING and please pass on our thanks again to him. He was such a nice guy too. Everyone commented on how fantastic he was.”
