Interview With Singer/Songwriter Megan Elizabeth
“I feel like I’ve been given an amazing gift for a purpose.”
-Megan Elizabeth
I had a nice talk with a young artist last week who is just
starting out in the recording industry and has an empowering message to help
the young people of today.
Megan Elizabeth is a singer/songwriter with a message and a
purpose. Her music began as a vehicle
for her own healing process after being bullied in high school and going
through depression. After praying for
help in a practice room in her school, the very next week she went to the same
practice room and miraculously could play the piano and read music. Megan now plays the guitar, piano, alto sax,
ukelele, banjo and she writes her own lyrics and melodies.
Because of her musical abilities she was accepted into the
Berklee School of Music which speaks volumes on how much her talent has grown.
Originally a country artist Megan
is now expanding her musical palette by incorporating dance and urban
contemporary music. People say her voice
is a mix between Katy Perry and Adele and she enjoys the compliment.
A staunch advocate against bullying she incorporates
anti-bullying themes in her shows and her lyrics, and at every one of her live
shows she has a “Be kind” poster for people to sign to help spread the message
of kindness in the place of bullying.
I visited her website and enjoyed the first track that came
up which was a cover song of Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse.” Megan’s version is noticeably different and
has an Eastern sound to it. I asked her
about the sonic choices in the recording and she said that she used pots and
pans and a banjo to get a completely different sound. She goes on to say that it was one of the
“funnest” covers she’s done.
After being active professionally for 2 years, her first
single “Closer to You” is being released this coming May 30th and
will be available at all of the regular outlets such as Amazon, itunes,
Spotify, etc.
