One of her favorite things while Melange was home schooled and had to stay indoors because of her weak immune system, she would spend hours in her dying grandmother's room watching "Golden Girls".
Melange Lavonne states "I'm such an easy calm mild tempered person, but if you bring up season 8 of Game of Thrones I can get really irritated vocally with the dislike of the rushed storylines and bad writing."
Before her best friend Abicus who taught her how to rap suddenly died in 2021, he was in the process of surprising her with buying her a Game of Thrones tour cruise where they take you to the sites of the set locations around the world where they filmed the scenes.
In 2022 her father Victor Grady died from complications of heart disease and with her losses this led her into writing again after giving up hip hop for years.
She's struggled with chronic depression and finds solace in working out in the gym, painting, 3D wood puzzles or hiking outdoors in the Palm Springs area.
Her 2008 Album "The Movement" establishes Lavonne's blend of conscious and intelligent hip hop rap, taking on the foes of equality and justice.
Her songs tackle issues such as Gay Parenting, Domestic Abuse, AIDS, the Presidential campaigns, discrimination, Global Warming, and hip hop hypocrisy, to name a few.
She has done work in acting starring in a Pilot Series called "Don't Go" where she plays the butch character Jaden, directed by Amber Sharp.
Melange Lavonne states, "Working with Amber and the entire crew was an amazing experience, I felt like a fish out of water because I'm a terrible actress realizing this after watching the pilot.
The album's lyrics manifest Lavonne's political views: the track "Sick Sad World" decries racism, abuse, poverty, anorexia and prejudice.
