Our Story

MEL Productions was founded by Michael Francis, a musician, singer-songwriter, music producer, vocal tutor and educator with a long-standing background in music and music technology. Throughout his music career, Michael gained extensive experience working in recording studios with both signed and unsigned artists, including work connected with various record labels. He has produced and performed with a wide range of artists and musicians and taken part in numerous live performances, events and other music projects.

Those years of professional and practical experience became an important part of the inspiration behind MEL Productions. Michael wanted to pass on the knowledge, skills and experience he had gained through his own music career, particularly to young people and adults who wanted opportunities to develop their talents and pursue their own ambitions. His vision was to use music not simply as entertainment, but as a way of bringing people together, building confidence, developing skills and helping people discover what they are capable of achieving.

Over the years, MEL has grown beyond its musical roots to include recording and performance, digital and AI skills, employability support, creative workshops, practical learning and wider community activities. We work with young people and adults, including those who may face barriers to education, employment, participation or social connection.

Today, from our community venue in Acton, West London, we continue that original vision: providing a welcoming place where people can learn, create, connect, develop new skills and access opportunities for the future.

OUR MISSION

To create opportunities through music, creativity, education, digital and AI skills, and practical learning, helping young people and adults build confidence, develop their abilities, overcome barriers and move towards positive futures.
