Melissa Otto, a member of the Boolaroo Seventh-day Adventist Church in North New South Wales, has just released her first music album, Opened.
Ms Otto says that inspiration for the first song the she wrote for the album, It’s Alright, came after she finished praying at the end of high school and was going through a period of not knowing what to do. “The music and lyrics just came to my mind,” she said.
The production of the album was largely a family affair. Ms Otto’s siblings provided backing vocals and played some of the instruments. Her brother Jonathan Otto is also the executive producer of the album.
Ms Otto first started writing songs when she was in Year 5. She has been singing since a very young age.
