Melissa Bianco was born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. She graduated from Argyle Secondary School and received her Arts and Sciences Diploma in Media Resources from Capilano University. She has also attended Ohlone College (American Sign Language) and Liberty University (Religious Studies).
Melissa is best known for her work as a game developer on the Massive Multiplayer online roleplaying games called City of Heroes and City of Villains, by Cryptic Studios and, later, Paragon Studios where she worked as Lead Development Producer until its sunset in November 2012. She was known on the CoH boards as War Witch. She worked at Crystal Dynamics as a Producer on Marvel Avengers from 2016 to 2021.

She lives in Idaho with her husband and Russian Blue Cat, Remington “Remi” Steele.
She loves reading, writing, songwriting (new!), playing video games, being creative, making people laugh, and reading about cooking (apparently she doesn’t like the actual cooking part). She’s also a fan of ice cream and chocolate, but only the good stuff. Not that grocery store junk.
Melissa Bianco is a songwriter and producer who turns stories, emotions, and wild ideas into music. With seven albums written and three already released, she writes every song and directs each production from first lyric to final track, using AI-assisted tools to bring the music and vocals to life.
Melissa is also the author of the chick-lit novels Everyday Heroes and Real Life.
