Mereki Rose Beach, better known by her stage name Mereki, is an Australian singer-songwriter.

Early life and education

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.

Career

Mereki has lived in London, Scotland, Melbourne, and New York City before settling in Los Angeles, where her career developed.
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. She was spotted by Ariel Rechtshaid, prompting their collaboration on "Golden Boy", recorded by Kylie Minogue in 2014.
Mereki has writing credits with Phantogram, and Atrak, and guest artist and co-writer credits on tracks with Dhani Harrison, Basenji, Flight Facilities, Holychild, and Goldroom. While fronting Goldroom,she performed across the US and internationally, before going on to perform with electronic act Flight Facilities as their featured vocalist on the duo's sold-out North American tour.
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.
Mereki's debut solo single "Blue Lake" was released in 2014. 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.
She made her live solo UK debut at the Glastonbury Festival 2022 and followed this up with another performance at the festival in 2023.
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.

Other activities

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, 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.
