Fans say MEA combines the lyrical virtuosity and passion of Tori Amos with the firey and danceable likeability of Bjork.
Armed with a cello and a big, honest voice, MEA performs an exciting set of dark, soulful and rhythmic music. She describes her newest release “Cocoon to Butterfly”,
as “an emotional dance through a dimly lit alley-way on the way to a potentially dangerous party”
MEA began playing her special brand of cello-based songs to showcase under the red and white tent of her hometown summer-festival called Summerfest. A few years later, she moved to Toronto to pursue a classical music degree at the University of Toronto. She played to Toronto clubs and impressed audiences with a combination of urban sounds and a folk-fantasy aesthetic. She has been featured on CIUT radio’s “First Word”, Italian Television’s national show “Viva Domenica” and was nominated in 2005 for a Toronto Independent Music Award in the Pop/rock category. She has collaborated with singer-songwriters, experimental jazz improvisers, rockers and DJs alike and continues to seek out unique artists and sounds.
MEA currently co-hosts an international showcase band night, every Saturday at 10pm at “Global Village Backpacker’s Departure Lounge” and is working with her new label “Munik Sideshow Records” to bring good music to good people.
