Meg Myers (born October 6, 1986) is an American singer-songwriter, originally from Tennessee's Smoky Mountains. Myers moved to Los Angeles to pursue music and she met Doctor Rosen Rosen, who signed her to his production company. In 2012, Myers signed to Atlantic Records. Myers has released one LP, ''Sorry'' (2015), and two EPs, ''Make a Shadow'' (2014) and ''Daughter in the Choir'' (2012), which are all available for purchase on her website. ==Early life== Born in Nashville, Myers spent the first five years of her life in Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains where she was raised by a truck driver father and a Jehovah's Witness mother. After her parents divorced, her mother married a fellow Witness, who moved the family to Ohio. Her mother and stepfather worked for a cleaning business. “They cleaned all night and slept during the day,” Myers says. When she was 12, Myers and her siblings were taken out of school when the family moved yet again, this time to Florida, where they bounced from town to town throughout her teen years. During this period, Myers began singing, writing songs on keyboard, and teaching herself to play guitar. She played bass in a band she started with her brother. “I had a huge need to express myself,” Myers says. “Music was always an escape from reality, because reality was pretty shitty. I had a really tough childhood, and was forced to be an adult at a really young age. Music was the only safe place that was my own, where I could say whatever I wanted.” A few days shy of her 20th birthday, Myers made the decision to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. She lived in a studio apartment with her then-boyfriend and got a job waitressing at a coffee shop in Hollywood and played whenever she could get a gig. Things didn’t work out with the guy, but she did end up meeting Rosen, who signed her to his production company. The two began writing songs, including all of ''Daughter in the Choir'' and ''Make a Shadow''. The full-length album ''Sorry'' followed in 2015. Her goal for her music, she says, is simple: “I want it to make people not afraid to feel.” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Atlantic Records )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meg Myers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
