Melinda Ademi (; born 19 November 1995), also known mononymously as Melinda, is a Kosovar-American singer who predominantly raps and sings in Albanian.
Melinda Ademi was born on 19 November 1995 into an Albanian family in the city of Mitrovica, Kosovo. Her family left Kosovo and moved to the United States to Yonkers, New York as refugees due to the persecution of Albanians associated with the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the following Kosovo War.
In 2011, she began her career on the talent show American Idol. She returned to the same contest two years later, reaching the semifinals. In 2015, she released her first single "Purr" and the further release of "Lulija" in 2018 gained her recognition in the Albanian-speaking world.
