Not only did the ‘Alphabet Boy’ singer fit in some performances for her Kiwi fans during her time here, she also put her creative talents to work for a special cause.

Melanie, 21, designed a one-of-a-kind cuddly toy called Mr Soft Serve, which is now up for auction on TradeMe with all profits to go to the Women’s Refuge.

Melanie’s drawing (and the toy created from it) is now up for auction on TradeMe.

Along with Mr Soft Serve himself, the winner of the auction will receive a one-of-a-kind framed artwork by Melanie Martinez and one copy of her album ‘Cry Baby’.

Melanie also took some time out to sit down for a quick fire question round with Woman’s Day – check out her answers below.
