ARTIST, FOUNDER, AND CEO

About NCD

Welcome to Melody and Mural Marketplace!

I’m NCD, a mid-1990s-born independent vampire woman of Puerto Rican and French Haitian descent—an ambitious, cultured, and worldly third-generation American with a youthful zest for life, an Aquarius Sun, and an Aries Moon. As a proud last-born child of a Navy military family, I embody the values of discipline and dedication. As the founder and creative force behind Melody and Mural Marketplace, I believe in the transformative power of art and music to elevate everyday moments. My journey began with a simple idea: to create soothing instrumental music channels that serve as the perfect backdrop for life’s many activities. Today, I’m thrilled to share the fruits of that vision with you!

My creative journey is deeply rooted in my diverse background, which spans across movies, fashion modeling, poetry, art, and music. I've been immersed in the arts for as long as I can remember, starting my dance training at the age of five. My studies included ballet, en pointe, jazz, tap, modern, hip-hop, and musical theater. Alongside my artistic pursuits, I excelled academically, achieving honors in English. By first grade, I was reading two grades ahead, and I was placed in gifted classes throughout my education.

My artwork was first showcased in a gala during fifth grade, where my piece—a replica of Picasso—was selected from a highly competitive pool. In middle school, I was a regional runner-up in debate and speech competitions, and at 13, my first poem, "Ode to Mother Nature", was published. By 15, I was writing original songs and sharing them on platforms like SoundClick.

In theater, I began performing at 12, taking on both supporting and lead roles. My passion for musical theater grew, earning me leading roles, awards, and honors such as the title of Best Student Choreographer in high school. The summer before my senior year of high school, I competed in the Disntingished Young Women Scholarship Pageant, in which I was the winner and recipient of the Best Self-Expression Category .  I was also accepted into my dream theater program in New York. At 18, social media led me to my first background role in an independent film, igniting my love for acting. Shortly after, I was discovered as a curve model and landed my first role in Ride Along 2 at 19.

After nearly a decade in the entertainment industry, I earned an Honors Bachelor's Degree in Film and English in 2022. I am also a proud member of the National Honors Fraternity and the English Honors Society, and I’ve had my poetry recognized on a national level—each accomplishment fueling my passion for storytelling and content creation.

My career in film, modeling, and television started with a lead role in the independent short Lifeguard at 19. Since then, I’ve had the privilege to work on notable projects like Ride Along 2, Monarch, Tell Me Lies, Queens, Ordinary Joe, Long Slow Exhale, Star, Insatiable, The Resident, Stranger Things, Creed III, and Spider-Man: Homecoming. I’ve also been an audience member on Nick Cannon’s Wild 'N Out and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's The Titan Games, which further fueled my connection to the entertainment world.

As a curve model, I was signed almost instantly by one of the world’s most prestigious agencies, which has given me opportunities to create impactful work that reflects my vision.

Explore my YouTube channels and immerse yourself in the smooth sounds of my smooth, soulful electronica dance tracks on my main channel, NCD. Discover the soulful melodies of Soulmate Serenades, the refined elegance of Luxury Listens, the energizing beats of Exercise Encore, the whimsical charm of Fairy Fantasias, the cosmic vibes of Interstellar Interludes, and the sultry sounds of Sunset Sizzles. Each channel is a testament to my commitment to quality and creativity, crafted to enhance your experiences, whether you're working, relaxing, or dreaming.

But that's not all. My passion for art extends beyond music. I'm excited to introduce my collection of art stickers and matching t-shirts, inspired by the beautiful artwork featured on my channels. These stickers and t-shirts are a perfect way to carry a piece of my creative world with you, adding a touch of artistry to your personal space.

Thank you for being a part of my community. Your support fuels my creativity and drives me to keep creating and sharing the magic of art and music.

Now, I embrace the spirit of Wendy who chose to stay in Neverland—refusing to conform to the mundanity of adulting, and instead, staying young at heart, chasing dreams like a timeless vampire. ;)

Xoxo,

NCD
