A strong sight-reader of scores and charts makes her sought after as an audition and rehearsal pianist, accompanist and pit musician for theatre productions. With further training and experience she has moved to vocal coaching and music director roles on theatre production teams. In 2011 she is wored with professional producers, Newtheatricals, in the music department under music supervisor, Ethan Popp, for the Australian Premier of 'Rock of Ages' while completing a show run of the Worldwide Premier of 'Grease 2: Live in Concert' as Orchestra Keyboards 2 staged by Melbourne Concert Productions.

Meliki fully orchestrated a 29 song revue in 2011 for Dandeong Theatre Company while completing her first original full length musical score and libretto.

She has also been recruited as a guitarist playing in productions such as 'Tick Tick Boom' at Chapel off Chapel, 'Les Miserables' with Whitehorse and 'West Side Story' with PLOS at the Frankston Arts Centre as well as a number of show on bass such as Hot Mikado and Pippin.

She has been involved in choirs since the age of nine and is familiar with the Kodaly technique for choral and harmonic vocal work. She slots in comfortably singing in bands, duos and accompanying herself solo - be it lead, harmony or backing vocals. Meliki studied voice under Antonio Lancuba during 2006 and 2007.

Meliki has studied dance for several years including modern, classical, jazz, tap, hip-hop, street latin and ballroom latin. She has not pursued dance professionally but her knowledge is appreciated by dance professionals in the nuances for live dance accompaniment.
