MÉA - Bio Mixing expertise with innovation, combining her powerful voice with a dazzling stage presence, Méa pioneers a new place for women in the dj world. Her bold style and turntable mastery prompted DMA magazine to hail this petite performer "The Madonna of the New Millennium" on its July 2001cover. In an always exciting show this dynamic diva combines live freestyle vocals over a versatile set ranging from tech house to intelligent breaks, as well as introducing new singles with catchy lyrics written by Méa herself. Although she spent several dedicated years in Chicago launching her career and now travels worldwide from a home base in Los Angeles, her roots are in Kansas City. She grew up in a musical household: her father dabbled in various jazz bands and has always been Méa's foremost source of inspiration. From her youth Méa was schooled in violin, guitar, drums, dance, and, of course, voice; but she gives strong females like Madonna credit for motivating her to take on music as a career. One considerable obstacle was earning the right to be taken seriously as a female in the dj profession. She is proud to have long since overcome doubts and will never again be underestimated, due to the skills that surpass pretty packaging, and the hard work that won her the success she now enjoys. For Méa, the long and winding road to success began in the mid nineties when she was seduced by her first Chicago rave during the heyday of that scene on a weekend trip. She returned to Kansas City, sold out her partnership in the clothing boutique she had founded two years prior, and moved to the Windy City, where she immediately established a role for herself in the famous Chicago club scene. With her fashion background and fiercely unique style she landed jobs as a club host at key underground nightspots like Shelter and Crobar, proving she could contend with the highly competitive host circuit. While djing was still a hobby, her nights in the heart of the club scene allowed her to make important contacts in the music industry. A job with Thousand Words magazine garnered her an introduction to the SHR group, an umbrella for record companies that included the Dialogue, Colossal, and Afterhours labels that would first put Méa on wax. Her dedication soon aroused the interest of Spero Pagos and Ron Carroll, known as the production team Ministers of Sound, who would mentor Méa to fruition, produce her first singles, and build a solid foundation for her musical career. Her first globally distributed CD was released, entitled "Shaken, Not Stirred" on July 11, 2000 on the Afterhours label, featuring the handiwork of Rick Garcia (check out the track "Everything") alongside Méa's vocals layered over a house mix, creating a unique effect that would become her trademark. As a rising star of the new millennium, she earned the honor of playing alongside world famous dj talent that included the incomparable Donald Glaude, DJ Dan, DJ Sneak, and DJ Rap as the sole female resident on the Bay-area based Funky Tekno Tribe tour. Her next CD, "Welcome to My House" was released through FTT in January of 2001, a vibrant live recording from the Metro in Chicago where she played the final show of that tour. Having established her reputation on the West Coast, she fused with Los Angeles producer Nynex to create the dance floor hit "The Simplest of Things", which showcases Méa's vocal strengths while demonstrating a new maturity in her musical evolution. Her April 2001 self-released CD, "Lunar Rebirth" contains the single as a bonus track to another live recording, featuring a new, multi-faceted sound. The following year, Mea released a 2-disc compilation consisting of 1 live mix and 1DVD of live footage shot by various friends and fans throughout her years of touring. This CD gives us a newer look of her chameleon-style changes, both musically and vocally. Her most recent addition to her mixed CD collection is currently available to those who can appreciate her true art. Having always preferred breakbeat to all other genres of music, "No Shame" gives us the raw, backbreaking bass sound that not too many dj's dare to exploit, and not to mention the famous freestyle vocals which appear to make the icing on the cake. The new direction her career has taken necessitated a move to LA, where she has all new projects in the works including more work with Nynex and other electronically-based producers.The highly anticipated new artist album, due in July 2004, will no doubt be greatly appreciated by all. Here is where Mea's talent truly lies... in her writing and singing. This album ties together both personal measures and experiences of Mea herself. Collaboration with Nynex has no doubt created a masterpiece. This 9 song addition of original music not only defines Mea as a cross-over artist but solidifies her talent as a true musician. Between daily sessions in the studio and breaking to snowboard wherever there is a patch of white, Méa has been booked solid every weekend, allowing her to charm audiences worldwide and maintain friendships throughout the continent. Her love of music, appreciation of her fans, and dedication to her craft inspire her to maintain a vigorous travel schedule and give her audience the best of herself every time she plays, deejay's or sings live, sharing her boundless energy with those who come to dance. |
