Meiko

Meiko 出生于1982年2月25日，是美國的歌手，詞曲作者,成長在羅貝塔，目前居住在美國加利福尼亞州洛杉磯。她在沒有唱片公司的幫助下，于2007年9月1日發布了一個同名專輯<>。 她的專輯在iTunes Top 100 Albums中排行35位。并在不到9個月，超過20萬單打已經從iTunes上下載的。幾個精選歌曲已在黃金時段的電視節目上播出。 Meiko's songs find common ground between indie pop and coffeehouse folk, with her distinctive alto vocals sharing the spotlight with acoustic guitars and intimate arrangements. A longtime songwriter, Meiko was raised in the small town of Roberta, GA, where she discovered her love for public performance after singing at a Southern Baptist church. She then took up the guitar, playing her father's Gibson before receiving her own instrument as a birthday present. At the age of 18, Meiko left home for greener pastures, eventually resettling in Los Angeles and scheduling recurring performances at the Hotel Café, a popular haven for L.A.-based singer/songwriters. A self-titled album appeared in September 2007, followed by several song placements in such high-profile TV shows as Grey's Anatomy. Meiko found herself receiving a considerable amount of attention for an independent artist; her album shot to the top of iTunes' folk music charts, while peaking at number 35 on the iTunes Hot 100. Boosted by her Internet popularity, Meiko signed a contract with MySpace Records/DGC in June 2008; a re-release of her debut album followed in September.
