Meiko, originally from Roberta Georgia, may have moved from Georgia, but her small-town influences remain evident in her self-titled debut release.Meiko counts among her influences artists such as Patty Griffin, Sade, and Portishead, and she has managed to create songs that are all her own.In 2007, Meiko performed at the Sundance Film Festival and Josh Jackson (Paste Magazine), who boldly declared her a "big success story" waiting to happen; predicting it was "only a matter of time" before she found her way onto Nic Harcourt's influential “Morning Becomes Eclectic” radio program on KCRW. A few months later Meiko's music became a staple of the L.A. radio station's playlists.Raised by her dad in Roberta, Georgia, Meiko first held audience at the tender age of eight, singing “White Christmas” for an all-Black Southern Baptist church. She has since performed everywhere from local talent shows to Little League baseball parks.

Georgia Not Big Enough For Meiko

Meiko set out from Georgia to make a name for herself at the age of eighteen. She went to Miami, but eventually headed toLos Angeles, and played venues all over Southern California while continually writing. Her powerful voice, well-crafted songs, made her a fan favorite wherever she played.

"I ain't wastin' no more time, I got to take back what's mine," she sings on “Under My Bed”, a track from her self-titled debut album. The Georgia Jukebox feels sure Meiko's time has come.
