Melly’s Couch began in 2013 and has undergone several adjustments to become the leading interview platform for artists. Interviews began in Miami but quickly expanded nationwide, whether through fly-ins or virtually. In 2024, the Couch obtained a sponsorship through The Lot media company securing a home base in Chicago, IL.
With a superstar host and several professional entities behind the production, the success of the Couch skyrocketed. Currently, each season consists of 16 guests with two seasons per year. The Couch is available on Youtube, Spotify Podcasts, Apple Podcasts and iHeartRadio.
In 2025, Melly’s Couch also obtained a Cable Television Slot in Chicago. You can watch episodes on Channel 25 on Tuesdays and Fridays at 9:30 p.m. within city limits.
Diversity and exclusivity
One of the things that sets Melly’s Couch apart from other shows is the exclusivity of it. Potential guests undergo a vetting process which can take months before they are considered for an interview. Once scheduled Melly Starz conducts journalistic research spanning days to prepare for the interview.
Another standout is the diversity of the guests. The show has been able to cultivate a range of artists from different areas and sub genres of music. Not only do we showcase artists, we also speak to DJs, bands, entrepreneurs and anyone in the creative space. This is especially important during the wrap parties. At these events artists and djs from all over the city come together to showcase their talent and network. The most recent wrap party at Midlane Esports was a sold out show.
Once guests get on the Couch they are exposed to other Melly Starz Media related opportunities. Not only do they have the opportunity to perform but they also get a song featured on the #Starzontherise Spotify playlist. The wait list is long but if you come to the Couch you officially join Mellsville.
