Future Hispanic History Month: Melanie Martinez's Quirky Charm

We're celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month with Future Hispanic History Month, which will highlight rising stars who are creating history before our very eyes. Today we are honoring one of the more exciting rising stars to come out of pop in recent years—Melanie Martinez.

There's a reason why she was chosen as our Fuse First artist back in April! The 21-year-old singer, who is of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent, first caught everyone's attention during the third season of The Voice. Despite only making it to week five on Adam Levine's team, Melanie used the loss as motivation to jumpstart her pop career.
