Growing up in Pretoria, Melorie Jane started the afro-funk, jazz band called ALL the MORE, in 2012. The group performed at venues such as Hard Rock Café Menlyn, Marais Street Acoustics and +27 Café. The group broke up in 2017 when Melorie Jane moved to Franschhoek, where she started performing mostly under her own name in various jazz, funk and contemporary jazz set-ups. She released her debut single 'till the morning comes in 2017 and her EP Different View, performed by her quintet, in 2018. Melorie completed her Bachelor's degree in music at the University of Pretoria and graduated with her Masters in Music Performance (specializing in jazz composition and piano performance) at the University of Stellenbosch in 2021.

Anyone who has followed Abbey Lincoln’s career with any regularity understands that she has followed a fiercely individual path and has paid the cost for those choices. Through the Years is a cross-licensed, three-disc retrospective expertly compiled and assembled by the artist and her longtime producer, Jean-Philippe Allard. Covering more than 50 years in her storied career, it establishes from the outset that Lincoln was always a true jazz singer and unique stylist. Though it contains no unreleased material, it does offer the first true picture of he range of expression. Her accompanists include former husband Max Roach, Benny Carter, Kenny Dorham, Charlie Haden, Sonny Rollins, Wynton Kelly, Benny Golson, J.J. Johnson, Art Farmer, Stan Getz, and Hank Jones, to name scant few.
