Biography:
"In Meshe’s music you hear a level of sophistication that comes with training and then soul searching and rich life experiences. She has studied acting, classical, jazz, voice and of course, pharmacology. Listening, It’s hard to believe Meshe hasn’t always been writing and performing. Her Irish, French and Trinidadian roots are evident in her music and help make her sound difficult to classify. I hear traces of jazz and folk along with quirky, theatrical elements." - BC Musicians Magazine
Meshe's first full length album, released in 2006, had two winning tracks; "Bathtub Rag" was featured on Music BC's 2008 CD Compilation and "In Light In"- won the My Generation- A Festival of Power contest.
"The Moondrops", a double CD, was a strong follow-up. It was awarded a Canada Council Recording Grant for Specialized Music and "Lucky Are We" won Meshe the BC Musician's Songwriting Contest.
After the "art-album"- Meshe's jazz school training exploded and she received a FACTOR grant to complete the Meshe & Moon Circus Sampler- featuring her fresh arrangements of jazz standards.
Although not yet completed, her upcoming album "Revolutionary Lullabies" is already winning- Meshe received a scholarship to attend a month-long musical residency retreat at the Banff Centre, and Factor funding to attend Songstudio 2014, a songwriting intensive in Toronto. Never a stranger to adventure, to get there Meshe participated in the ViaRail Artists on Board program to travel between Vancouver and Toronto and back!
"She has the musical skills to establish credibility with a more artsy crowd, and the earthiness and humor to make her more accessible to people like me who just love music. She can sing anything, play anything and seduce anyone. Go ahead and give in." - Jennifer Layton, Indie-Music.com
