Melvin Lewis - lead vocals / guitar
Birthdate: September 14 (virgo)
Birthplace: Boston Massachusetts
Melvin is a self taught musician who has had a very interesting life, to say the least, and has made his home with BENT2STRUGGLE, as a songwriter, and vocalist. His first instrument was piano, but that faded quickly into a very serious dream to play guitar, eventually this desire took form when he traded his skateboard for "The cheapest electric guitar ever, it even had a speaker in it that ran off of a nine volt battery"- as he puts it, so with "cheap guitar" in hand he started to listen to all kinds of music to see what he could learn, with the knowledge of five chords that he learned from his highschool social studies teacher Mr. Scott, with this, and with his long time friendship with fellow guitarist Chris Girard, he soon learned how to play, somewhere in the middle of all of that he realized that he wanted to sing, he was always very into the music of Faith no more, Mike Patton in particular, using his attachment to Patton's writing, he realized that he can express his innermost emotions through his music, half out of curiosity, and half out of need he became a singer. Realizing that he wasn't that bad, Melvin, as the cliche goes, found his voice, and with this he began to find within himself, the fuel to write lyric lines that really mean something to him, and he hopes, to others.
