Melody Hill – Biography

My name is Melody Hill, but to many I’m known as Melly-Mel. I’ve been blessed with many talents and a heart for helping others—shaped by my own life struggles.

After my husband passed away, I started P-Funk 187 Entertainment, a promotion and management company that made waves in St. Louis, Chicago, Toledo, Kansas, Atlanta, and beyond. I began by taking photos and videos in local clubs, quickly putting my company on the map. I was blessed to work alongside my brother, J-Ragz, who dedicated his free time to helping me grow the business while also pursuing his own music career under my management.

P-Funk 187 Entertainment gained national recognition, appearing in Inbox Magazine, Vibe Magazine, and more. My love for children led me to start another company—P.F.U.N.K (Positive Functions Understanding Nations Kids). Through P.F.U.N.K, I gave neighborhood kids a safe and positive outlet by teaching them dance and modeling. With the help of Mary Moore, we competed in shows all over St. Louis and even performed in Toledo, Ohio.

My network grew when I met B-Gyrl from stlhiphop.com, who connected me with opportunities that took P-Funk 187 to the next level. Thanks to her, I interviewed T.I. early in his career—a moment that marked a new chapter for me. I later launched P-Funk Glasscity in my hometown of Toledo, Ohio, managing artists like Big Folks, who opened for Paul Wall. Around this time, I teamed up with DJ Bishop V-Luv, who has been a loyal partner for years, DJing events and collaborating on photography and videography projects.

I’ve been blessed to meet powerful talents, including Ms. Monet, whose voice is so moving it sends chills through your body. Her gift brought healing to many at my events. P-Funk 187 Entertainment continued to expand, building a nationwide following and producing events across the USA. Industry leaders like Bay D (CEO of Frye Boy Records) and T-Baby (CEO of The House of Ooh Wee) took my company under their wing, allowing us to provide promotions, photography, and celebrity interviews. We became more than collaborators—we became family.

In 2012, the Most High gave me a new vision—Food 4 Da Soul. This company was created to raise funds and resources for those in need. Since its beginning, Food 4 Da Soul has hosted seminars, donated gifts, supported families, and helped small businesses. I also serve as a Spiritual Teacher known as (Spirit Queen) offering online classes about spiritual identity, anatomy, health, nature, and science—classes I’ve been teaching since 2007 in my home.

I even embraced a new spiritual name—Spirit Queen—as I stepped deeper into my calling. Education remains a priority in my journey, and in 2022, I completed my Master’s in Management Communication. My next goal is a spiritual education retreat.

My guiding belief is simple:

“You have two hands—one to help yourself, and the other to help someone else.”
