We’re looking forward to introducing you to MEECAH. Check out our conversation below.
Hi MEECAH, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Outside of music, I’ve really found joy in two things: fitness and cooking. Fitness has become almost like a moving meditation for me. I love pushing myself at Barry’s or Solidcore the intensity, the discipline, and the community energy all remind me of being on stage. It’s about building stamina, not just for my body but for my spirit, so I can give my best in every performance.
Cooking, on the other hand, is where I slow down and nurture myself. I’ve been reimagining traditional meals I grew up with in their vegan form, and it’s honestly been such a joyful creative process. There’s something powerful about honoring culture and memory while also aligning it with how I live now holistic, plant-based, and intentional. And the fact that I can make these meals taste just as comforting as the originals feels like a little victory every time.
Both fitness and cooking give me balance one is about strength and discipline, the other is about nourishment and creativity. Together, they keep me grounded and remind me that joy isn’t only in big milestones, but also in those everyday rituals.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Meecah and I’m a recording artist, vocalist, and performer whose journey spans Broadway, R&B, and international touring. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to travel the world with Hamilton, headline venues like, Hard Rock Café, and sell out New York’s iconic Joe’s Pub with my own music. I even created and sold out my own ‘Coffee House Tour,’ which brought me closer to audiences in more intimate spaces.
What makes my story unique is that I bring together all these different influences the power of Broadway, the soul of R&B, and my passion for holistic living. My artistry is about creating experiences that feel both elevated and deeply personal. Right now, I’m focused on sharing my new music, including my latest single ‘Answers,’ while also building a brand that celebrates wellness, authenticity, and the beauty of real vocals and live performance.
At the heart of everything I do is the desire to connect. Whether that’s through a ballad that moves you, a dance track that lifts your spirit, or even a simple story that makes you feel seen.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me who I had to be, I was a girl who sang because it felt like breathing, barefoot in the grass, raised in the church, and already carrying a voice bigger than me.
And yes, I’ve heard what the world thinks I should be which is a stereotypical R&B singer, easy to box in. But I’m more than that. I’ve lived Broadway, I’ve toured the world, I’ve sung arias, I’ve created my own sold-out tours, and I’m an artist who doesn’t fit neatly into one lane.
The truth is, I don’t really care what the world has to say, because I carry a joy that the world didn’t give me and can’t take away. That joy is what fuels my music, my presence, and my purpose, and it’s what I hope people feel every time they hear me sing.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
One of the defining wounds of my life has been realizing that people don’t owe you anything. Not even the people closest to you. I had to learn that lesson again and again, and each time it cut differently. When you’re chasing a dream that feels like your whole life, like your whole purpose, you naturally expect the people who love you to rally behind it. You expect them to see the magnitude of what you’ve built. But the truth is, sometimes the moments that feel like the greatest milestones in your world don’t even register for someone else and no matter who that person is, you can’t force them to care in the way you do.
At first, that realization left me with a deep sense of disappointment, even grief. It felt like betrayal sometimes. But I’ve come to understand it as part of the human condition, we all have our own capacities, our own blind spots, and our own battles. What I’ve learned through those wounds is something I call radical acceptance: the acceptance that people are who they are, and they will give what they are able to give, whether or not it matches your hopes.
That acceptance recalibrated my expectations and freed me from chasing love or validation in places where it wasn’t sustainable. It taught me to be more intentional about where I pour my energy. It made me value — deeply — the few people who do show up without question, who hold me up when I feel like I can’t hold myself. Those relationships feel sacred because they are rare.
The wound of unmet expectations has, in many ways, become a teacher. It taught me resilience. It forced me to anchor my joy in something beyond human approval in faith, in my own sense of purpose, in the art itself. And it gave me the gift of clarity: I no longer measure love by how loudly someone claps, but by how consistently they stand beside me. That shift has changed not just how I navigate relationships, but how I see myself less dependent on external affirmation, and more rooted in the truth that I was created for this path whether others validate it or not.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the biggest lies the industry tells itself is that artists blow up organically. The truth is, there’s always a machine, strategy, or investment behind it. We sell the fairytale that someone just posted a video and the world magically discovered them, but behind the curtain there are teams, budgets, and entire infrastructures at work. Pretending otherwise keeps independent artists chasing a mirage instead of understanding the real mechanics of success.
Another lie is that social media numbers automatically translate into real-world audiences. Just because someone has a million followers doesn’t mean a million people will buy tickets, stream your song, or stand in the crowd. Social media is a tool — a powerful one — but it doesn’t dictate the depth of connection an artist has with their fans. I’ve learned that the most loyal audiences are often built offstage, in smaller rooms, or through moments that algorithms can’t measure.
For me, success isn’t about chasing those industry myths. It’s about building something real, sustainable, and rooted in authenticity — so that when people do show up, they’re showing up for the art, not just the hype.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What are you doing today that won’t pay off for 7–10 years?
What I’m doing today that won’t fully pay off for 7–10 years is building something sustainable, not just viral. Every post, every show, every recording is part of a bigger foundation. I’m investing in the kind of artistry and credibility that will let me tour for decades, not just trend for a season.
I’m also pouring into my health and wellness. I know my voice and body are my instruments, so the time I spend in fitness studios, or reimagining traditional meals into vegan dishes, is part of making sure I can stand on a stage in ten years with the same energy I have now.
On the career side, I’m nurturing authentic connections with my audience. Not bots. No smoke and mirrors. It might feel slower than the industry machine, but those real relationships will still be there years from now when the algorithms have shifted.
And maybe most importantly, I’m developing my catalog and artistry in a way that will let me look back in a decade and see a body of work that stands the test of time.
