Meiko is a hugely talented singer/songwriter who is at fast gaining the recognition she so fully deserves.
Born in small-town Roberta, Georgia (population 808 according to Wikipedia), Meiko's first introduction to public singing was at the age of 8 in front of the congregation of an all black Southern Baptist church.
The name Meiko was inspired by her Japanese grandmother.
Learning at first to play the guitar on her father's Gibson, he bought her her own when she was 13. From then on the songs have flowed, a seamless mix of pop, folk and alternative.
Her work as a waitress at LA's famous music venue 'Hotel Cafe' allowed her to introduce herself onto the scene. She has been a hit at venues across California, her voice, original songs and unpretentious manner delighting the crowds.
A video of her posted on YouTube showcases her unique vocals and songwriting talent. You can watch it here.
