Melody Gardot is an American jazz singer-songwriter who started her career in 2005 after she got involved in a car accident which left her confined in a hospital room for one year and strongly damaged her memory.

She started making music following the advice of a physician who told her music can help the brain create new connections and first released the Some Lessons EP. It was followed by 4 albums, 2 of which were platinum certified. My One and Only Thrill was nominated for the Grammy Awards.
