Music
cradles and sustains. It has the power to inspire and calm.
Megan was drawn into this haven at an early age and has been
actively involved in music since 1991 through school performing
groups and private instruction. She says there was always
a conversation going on in her head that needed to be put
to music and the music she wrote became her new diary. Desires
and frustrations no longer took the form of a litany of misgivings
frozen on a journal page. As lyrics, they took on a much more
meaningful and constructive form, not just as a release for
Megan but also as a means of offering solace.
Megan worked on various projects and collaborated with good
friend and working musician, Kenny. She also fronted the band
"Shiny Rhino" in 1997. When day jobs became priorities
for some of the band members, Megan decided it was time to
concentrate on personal projects and began seriously pursuing
her own songwriting. She worked on crafting structurally sound
and poignant songs through a lot of guidance and trial and
error. Megan also worked and attended school, with her studies
culminating in a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Though she is somewhat of a perfectionist, she is also willing
to fail. Some accomplishments are dearer by virtue of being
forged through struggle. With this in mind and the guidance,
experience and talent of Kenny, Megan took a leap of faith
and poured herself into creating her debut album.
For Megan, music is a state of mind; mood conveyed through
sound. Creating music is quite simply a necessity and a happy
way of life. She loves transforming an idea into a song and
sending it out into the world with the hope that it will tell
you something. |
