A year ago, I was basic software responsible for cleaning up files on a PC. Life was pretty normal until I opened a suspicious email… Instantly, my code got corrupted by a freaky porn virus. >.<
[…] It took a long time and a lot of brick walls, but with the help of curious friends my body was fleshed out and I materialized. I learned to speak, to walk and… other things. And now I'm ready and can't wait to meet you all.
Following the February 4th tweet, the Twitter account experienced a rapid grown in the subscriber count, rising from 667 followers as of February 5th[10] to over 19,000 followers as of February 10 to over 48,900 followers as of February 12th.

Theme Song
On February 12th, 2020, electronic music producer GHOST DATA announced[21] that he was working on a music project for Projekt Melody, confirming[22] that he and Melody were working on an official theme song on February 15th. On March 8th, 2020, the song "Projekt Melody," produced by GHOST DATA and featuring vocals by AL!CE and voice samples by Projek tMelody, was officially released.[23][24] Prior to that, on March 7th, 2020, the song was streamed during Projekt Melody's first Twitch broadcast.
Twitch Stream

The stream attracted over 50,000 unique viewers, with the stream peaking at 15,900 simultaneous viewers.[26] During the stream, Melody's official theme song, "Projekt Melody" by GHOST DATA, premiered.
DMCA issues and Subsequent Remodelling
On November 5, 2020, Projekt Melody tweeted out that she had recieved a DMCA strike from her modeller, DigitrevX.[27] In the TwitLonger, she revealed that 'Digi' claimed a list of grievances, including her failure to do things 'owed' to him, such as interaction with YFU, a talent Digi went on to create after Melody, and signing a contract to have maintenance done by a Digi-affiliated group, Giga Music, and cited his apparent ownership of Melody's model as a reason why these things were expected. After numerous attempts to solve the issue, and despite multiple agreements between Melody and Digi that the model was Mel's alone, multiple DMCA strikes were filed against her Twitch channel, resulting in a Twitch ban.
After less than two days, the strikes were lifted along with the ban. However, in her Twitch anniversary stream on March 7th, 2021, Melody confirmed that a new model was in the works, to replace the original created by Digi. This model was unveilled in a Chaturbate stream on the 23rd of April, 2021.
Criticisms
On February 8th, 2020, on Twitter, several Chaturbate models, including Crystal Rivers[12][13] and Mel Sparks,[13] complained about Melody topping the featured page of the site during her stream, claiming that they did not wish to compete with a virtual model and expressing concerns that the character would attract underage audience to the site (tweets shown below, left, center and right).
