Her music is both soft & threatening , warm & cold, earthy & digital.

Meara brings her influence of folk, baroque pop, Celtic and classical music into the NOW and gives it an edgy & futuristic twist, taking the listener on a journey. 

 

She draws upon influences from classic artists like Kate Bush and Enya, with contemporary elements remindful of Aurora, Ruelle and Florence & The Machine.

"I always sang other people's music, yet dreamed of writing my own. I wanted to step out of that box, face my own shadow and create the dream of my own music. I want to encourage others to face their own shadows and pursue their dreams - whatever they may be."
