Melody Gardot (; built-in February 2, 1985) is an American jazz vocalizer.

At the historic period of 19, Gardot was involved in a bicycle blow and sustained a head injury. Music played a disquisitional role in her recovery. She became an advocate of music therapy,[1] visiting hospitals and universities to discuss its benefits. In 2012, she gave her name to a music therapy program in New Bailiwick of jersey.[2]

Encouraged past a physician who believed music would assist heal her brain, Gardot learned to hum, then to sing into a record recorder, and eventually to write songs.[x]

For several years, she traveled with a physiotherapist and carried a transcutaneous electrical nervus stimulator to reduce pain.[3] [ix]

Given her oversensitivity to sound, she chose quieter music. On the treadmill, she listened to bossa nova by Stan Getz, specifically "The Daughter from Ipanema". Unable to sit comfortably at the piano, she learned to play guitar on her back.[4] During her recovery, she wrote songs that became part of the self-produced EP Some Lessons: The Chamber Sessions.[11] Gardot was reluctant to tape her songs at beginning, stating that they were as well private for the public to hear, just relented and allowed her songs to be played on a Philadelphia radio station.[4]

During her time in the hospital she learned how to play the guitar and began writing songs, which were fabricated available as downloads on iTunes and released on Some Lessons: The Bedchamber Sessions in 2005. She began to play these songs at venues in Philadelphia and was noticed by employees of the radio station WXPN, operated by the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, which helped to start the career of Norah Jones[ citation needed ].
