Meighan Nealon was born in Toronto, Canada to a Jamaican mother
and Irish father. At an early age she was involved in gymnastics,
dance and musical theater. By the time she was in high school she
began as a dancer on the Much Music television show Electric
Circus. This at the time was an iconic show for EDM lovers and
one of the few shows worldwide of its kind. Sadly the show
canceled and left Meighan with a sense of wanting more. A
chance meeting with an entertainment manager in Toronto led her
to a producer Adrian who toyed with the idea of her featuring in a hip hop
project based in NYC. The idea turned out to be one of the better
examples of that project but was later shelved. Frustrated,
Meighan decided to pack her bags and move to Taiwan to study Chinese.
Perhaps what some may have thought was a shocking move actually
turned out to be the revelation for her to find her sound back to
EDM. Taipei had a budding club scene at this time as well as unique
music from all over Asia. This eventually led her to return to the
EDM scene but in an artistic capacity rather than dancing.
Ironically the same producer (Adrian) who had suggested the hip hop project
also had contacts with a team of EDM producers in Toronto. They did
their first song in 2005 "Just like this" based on the same producers
idea. This song sparked the attention of UK based Hit Records who
offered Meighan to feature on a more appropriate tune produced by
mega producer Nicola Fasano. This turned out to be her entry into a
more mainstream EDM market. Turns out Nicola tapped into something
special with the Made in Japan mix for her which leant a bit to a
trance feel. The song was reviewed and many people felt her feel
was more towards trance vocally. Meighan actually was living in London UK now
and became more and more interested in a more progressive trance sound.
In summer 2007 a chance email by then unknown Ashley Wallbridge to do a colab was the
beginning of this. Adrian was in London at the time and
decided to write for the project. This resulted in "I believe" which was
arguably on of the biggest trance tunes of early 2008. It was remixed by the
likes of Gareth Emery and Sied Van Riel. Meighan decided that Taipei was
where she got her inspiration so she decided to move back to begin future
projects as a base from Asia. One year after recording "I believe" another
big colab with the now known Ashley Wallbridge "My blood" has graced the
playlists once again and now the colab base is expanding to some major names.
Unique lyrics and daring topics tend to always eminate from her team as
some have already pointed out. Surprises on the way.
