Mel Sanson (born 28 July 1979) is an English singer-songwriter most notable for performing lead vocals and guitar with rock band Kenelis and Murder Ballad duet "White Lillies" with Fairuza Balk.

[12] In 2013 Kenelis won Brighton Music Award – Viewers Choice where Sanson met lead singer of Republica, Saffron Sprackling.

Alec Greaves joined the band on drums and the three-piece went into the studio with Mark Roberts and recorded their debut EP, Swallow The Sun.

Shows included The Cowley Club, The Quadrant, Sticky Mike's Frog Bar in Brighton and The Black Heart in London.

Fairuza sent Sanson an Appalachian folk/murder ballad style song called White Lilies and thought it would sound really great with some harmonies.
