Her native language is English, though she also speaks French. She spent some of her early childhood in Kenya with her mother, but after several bouts with malaria returned to Montreal, where she attended M.I.N.D. High School, a performing arts high school, and then Concordia University as a photography major.
In June 2009, Courtney Love announced through an NME blog that Hole were re-forming, with Auf der Maur on bass and Micko Larkin, who is Love's lead guitarist, on her upcoming album. It came as a surprise to Auf der Maur, who responded by saying she felt that "You can't take a Hole reunion thing that lightly. It's gonna take a little more organizing than just 'I'll come and sing some backups and then we got Hole'". Eric Erlandson also responded to the rumors, saying, "There is no Hole without me [...] on a business level." Erlandson claimed, "[Love] signed a contract with me when we decided to break up the band" that he claimed would prevent Love from using the name for a band that he wouldn't be a part of.
In 2006, Auf der Maur was included in Blender magazine's hottest women of rock alongside Joan Jett, Liz Phair, and Courtney Love.
In 2007, she appeared on the Fountains of Wayne album Traffic and Weather singing backing on the track "Someone to Love".
In March 2010, Auf der Maur announced that her new short film, "Out of Our Minds," would be screened in London next month. The former Hole bassist will also be on hand to take fans’ questions at The ICA on April 21.
In July 2010, Melissa Auf der Maur (performing as "Auf der Maur") was a part of the major two-day, heavy metal and hard rock festival Heavy MTL at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal.
On October 4, 2010, Melissa Auf der Maur premiered her next music video "Meet Me On The Dark Side" online.
In January 2011, Melissa Auf der Maur won The 10th Annual Independent Music Awards in the Indie/Alt./Hard Rock category for Out of Our Minds.
