My name is Melanie Rooten, a freelance music/entertainment journalist based in Nashville, Tennessee.
Originally from Southern California, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma in May of 2023. Since then, I have been contributing to a multitude of music/entertainment-focused publications, ultimately building connections within the industry, strengthening my writing skills, expanding my portfolio and more.
As I have become more and more invested in my field, I have become a voting/professional member at the Country Music Association (CMA), as well as taken on part-time roles as a Radio Promotion Events Team Member at iHeartMedia and a Guest Services Team Member at Bridgestone Arena.
I am always looking for new opportunities, and with your expertise and my drive to grow and succeed, I believe we can create a mutually beneficial relationship. Please contact me at melanieraerooten@gmail.com for inquiries.
