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.
