1995–1999: Solid HarmoniE

Graham joined Solid HarmoniE as an original member in 1995 and signed their first record deal in New York with Jive/Zomba records. They had success in the following few years. The band enjoyed considerable success and popularity in Germany, Netherlands, Philippines, Japan, and Malaysia, where they had toured on different occasions during 1997 until 1998. They released one album and five singles until the group split up in 1999. During this time they sold over 2 million records and Toured with the Backstreet Boys, Nysnc, Peter Andre amongst others.

2000–2003: Solo

Melissa started a solo career in 1999 and started a new album in the Netherlands where her former band had been cordially received by the fans. Her first single Bulletproof was released on 6 November 2000 in Germany and it was recorded to reach 89 of German top 100. Shortly after two more singles Welcome to mMy World and Hello World (Belle Perez Cover) were released which were reasonable successful in the Netherlands. She was still to finish her solo album as of 2003, but her album was never released due to some unresolved issues with her recording company. Melissa was also the face of Italian clothing company Freesoul. She also appeared in a 6-page feature in FHM, making the 'Girls of Summer' Special edition 2001.

She then went on to write a number one single for Girl Band 'Raffish' with 'Plaything'. She also co-wrote the title track to 'The Afroz' album, called 'Aint it Funny'.

She took a sabbatical and trained at University of Coventry and the University of Derby. She was awarded a 1st Class Honours Degree in Emergency Practice.

She is reuniting with former band members Elisa Cariera and Rebecca Onslow, and they plan to reform Solid HarmoniE. They have also reunited with Manager Johnny Wright.
