Lawson is a working mother and entrepreneuer with 7 boys ages 2-17. After years of performing locally, and regionally, In 2004, she tried out for the fourth season of American Idol, and made it to the final day of Hollywood week, eventually being cut in the top 75.[3] After settling back into leading worship at her home church, In 2008, She tried to reach for the stars again, but this time, not only did she make it onto Nashville Star on NBC.....she WON. She has since traveled the world, singing at the Olympics in Beijing, China, on the Grand Ole Opry, and had the privledge of writing and performing with some of the top Stars.  Lawson also appeared with her family on an episode of the NBC 2010 summer series Breakthrough with Tony Robbins dealing with personal issues with her then husband, Rick in the wake of her fame. It premiered in mid-August 2010 for video-on-demand streaming via NBC.com for a limited one-month period and then ultimately on the Oprah Winfrey Network and on Australian television[4]

After suffering insurmountable personal loss, and grief, Melissa picked back up the pieces and continues to inspire others on how to push through and allow God to make Beauty from Ashes. Her passion is helping others identify their gifts and talents. Encouraging them, in spite of the obstacles, to pursue their passions, and help them to create income producing businesses, so they can live a life they deserve. She continues to teach others how to "shift" their thinking in the 5 main areas of their life, (health/wellness, relationships, spirituality, financially, and mentally) so they can achieve success. She loves performing her own music, sharing her inspirational story at speaking engagements, as well as leading worship and performing for retreats, church and worship services, and even business and corporate events.  She has a unique way of weaving her story and her music  into the teachings of the event, and is flexible to work with agenda of the event as well. "Melissa is easy going, and wonderful to work with. She is beautiful inside and out.  A "real authentic person with talent beyond the norm."  - Randy Frazee, Oak Hills Church, co-Author of The Story
