Mereki Rose Beach, better known by her stage name Mereki, is an Australian singer-songwriter.
Mereki Rose Beach was born in Byron Bay and raised in Noosa, Queensland, Australia. Her father is English. [1] At the age of 17, she moved to Sweden, and later lived in London, Scotland, Melbourne and New York before settling in Los Angeles to pursue her music career. [2]
From an early age, she participated in school choir, and during her university years in Melbourne she joined her first band, which marked the beginning of her path as a singer-songwriter. [3]
Mereki has lived in London, Scotland, Melbourne, and New York before settling in Los Angeles, where her career developed. [4]
She started her career as a singer, but began writing and releasing professional music with Grammy Award-winning producers Dan Nigro, Justin Raisen, and SADPONY. [5] She was spotted by Ariel Rechtshaid, prompting their collaboration on “Golden Boy”, recorded by Kylie Minogue in 2014. [6]
Mereki has writing credits with Phantogram, and Atrak, and guest artist and co-writer credits on tracks with Dhani Harrison, Basenji, Flight Facilities, Holychild, [7] and Goldroom. [8] While fronting Goldroom, [9] she performed across the US and internationally, [10] [11] before going on to perform with electronic act Flight Facilities as their featured vocalist on the duo's sold-out North American tour.[ when? ]
In 2013, DCUP released "Don't Be Shy" remix, feat. Mereki. A music video to accompany the track, directed and executive produced by Australian director Tim White and starring Japanese fashion model Kozue Akimoto, was released to accompany the single. [12] [13] [14]
Mereki's debut solo single, "Blue Lake", was released in 2014. [15] Mereki released a few singles that landed her music in a Victoria’s Secret commercial. In 2017, Mereki released her EP Beach. The songs on Beach have Mereki’s signature style, a distinctly pop-feel with positive messaging, while tracks like “Spiritual”, “French Kissing” and “Got It All” also hold an ethereal, dreamy quality. [16] [17]
She made her live solo UK debut at the Glastonbury Festival 2022 [18] and followed this up with another performance at the festival in 2023. [19]
In 2022, Mereki released her single "Presence" and the follow-up track, "Twin Flame", in 2023. Her debut full-length solo album, Death of a Cloud was released on 24 March 2023, via BMG and her own label BUNBUN Records. [20]
In 2025, Mereki released her single "Truv Luv" and the follow-up track "Hollywood Sign".
In 2016, Mereki created Mereki's Clubhouse, a pop-up event platform with a focus on kindness and creating spaces to give a voice to up-and-coming female artists. The Clubhouse motto "Be Kind" grew into a non-profit organisation of the same name, [21] which then held an annual Holiday Benefit Concert – the last event selling out the legendary Troubadour in 2019. Past participants include Sharon Van Etten, John C. Reilly, and Jim James. [22]
