Singer Meiko Gets Personal In "Under My Bed"

meiko.jpg

Singer-songwriter Meiko came by to speak with us about her newfound fame. She also treated us with a performances of her song, entitled "Under My Bed" from her new, self-titled album.

The Georgia native currently resides in Los Angeles. She started out at the famed Hotel Caf‚ in Hollywood, where she was a waitress and performer before local and national buzz allowed her to put aside her drink tray for good. A songwriter with a keen eye and vivid narrative gift, Meiko collects jagged moments and devastating conversational flashes and turns them into deceptively simple tunes with hushed, gentle tones and stunning detailed imagery.

Meiko independently released a self-titled album in 2007 -- without the help of a record label, her album reached #35 on the iTunes Top 100 Albums chart. It was also iTunes’ #1 Singer-Songwriter album for over a month. In June 2008 Meiko signed a recording deal with MySpace Records/DGC, who released her album in partnership with Lucky Ear Music (Meiko's own indie label).

Meiko is in stores now.

I saw Meiko in The Viper Room with my friend Kara!
Kara had vip invite tickets from Meiko, and I was lucky enough to have Kara invite me! The opening bands were fun. Kara and I met several very kewl people there, that we are still in contact with. Davis Fontanes, for example! Check him out online, Davis Fontanes! He is an amazing music artist too! These people are the new guard and they're taking over the old household names! Keep your eye on them! :)
Meiko was the awesome highlight to the evening of music! A very fun evening at The Viper Room!
