Mereki Rose Beach, better known by her stage name Mereki (born March 23, in Billinudgel, Australia), is an Australian/English singer songwriter.[1]
Mereki was born in Byron Bay and raised in Noosa, Australia but her father was English. The Australian-English musician moved to Sweden at 17 and has lived in London, Scotland, Melbourne & New York before settling in Los Angeles, where her career developed. In 2020 she moved back to England, where she now resides.
Mereki has always been a singer but began writing and releasing professional music with Grammy Award winning producers Dan Nigro, Justin Raisen and SADPONY. She was also spotted by Ariel Rechtshaid, prompting their collaboration of “Golden Boy”, recorded by Kylie Minogue. She has writing credits with Phantogram and Atrak, and guest artist and co-writer credits on tracks with Dhani Harrison, Goldroom, Basenji, Flight Facilities and Holychild.[2] [3] While fronting Goldroom, she performed across America & internationally, before going on to perform with electronic act Flight Facilities as their featured vocalist on the duo’s sold out North American tour.[4]
In 2016, Mereki created Mereki’s Clubhouse, a pop-up event platform with a focus on kindness and creating spaces to give a voice to up-and-coming female artists. The Clubhouse motto “Be Kind” grew into a non-profit organization of the same name,[5] which then held an annual Holiday Benefit Concert – the last event selling out the legendary Troubadour in 2019. Past participants include, Sharon Van Etten, John C. Reilly, Jim James and more.[6]
Her debut solo single, “Blue Lake”, was released in 2014.[7] Mereki released a few singles that landed her music in a Victoria’s Secret commercial. In 2017, Mereki released her EP Beach. The songs on Beach have Mereki’s signature style, a distinctly pop-feel with positive messaging, while tracks like “Spiritual”, “French Kissing” and “Got It All” also hold an ethereal, dreamy quality.[8] [9]
She made her live solo UK debut at the Glastonbury Festival 2022[10] and followed this up with another performance at the festival in 2023.[11]
In 2022, Mereki released her single “Presence” and the follow-up track, “Twin Flame”, in 2023. Her debut full-length solo album, “Death of a Cloud” was released on 24 March 2023, via BMG and her own label BUNBUN Records.
