Melissa Riso was born June 27, 1986 in Monterey California and was raised in a nearby small town called Salinas. She moved to San Diego right after high school and soon after graduated from Beauty College.

While growing her business as a professional hair stylist, she was cutting hair for a local news reporter who suggested she try modeling. Over time she became very popular with the Import Tuner scene and was on the covers of twelve magazines.

While attending local acting schools, she began booking infomercials and enjoyed doing background extra work for television shows such as "Las Vegas" and "Greek". She also began booking lead roles in a number of Music Videos for Xzibit, T.I. and more recently Tyga, Daft Punk, Pharrell and Krewella.

By late 2010 Melissa moved to move to Los Angeles to pursue her acting and modeling career. She started modeling for clothing lines and Skin Care products. Melissa started booking roles in short films such as "Timid Pimps", "Jungle Dead Two", "TeleviSean", :Spare Change" and many more.

Melissa's biggest success in 2014 was when she landed her first lead role in a National Pepsi Commercial. Then booking commercials for Fila and LA fitness to top off her success that year.

She enjoys the benefits of Hollywood having taken classes with Ivana Chubbuck, Lesley Khan, Stuart K. Robertson and Groundlings for Improv.

Melissa Riso continues to take acting classes and train in Krav Maga for her feature action role that she dreams of in the feature.
