Meek on Music, Survival, and Finding Her Voice | Queer the Music with Jake Shears

Season 4 of Queer The Music continues with acclaimed pop sensation Meek for a frank and riotous conversation with Jake Shears about finding your voice, trusting your instincts and refusing to write by anyone else’s rules. Meek opens up about the brutal realities of years spent songwriting for other artists, from international writing camps and major cuts to the frustration of seeing deeply personal songs disappear onto albums. Shears and Meek also dig into the creative chemistry behind a great writing session, the importance of having fun, and why authenticity is ultimately the most powerful songwriting tool. From performing to a hairbrush as a kid to discovering her own musical identity through a gloriously eclectic mix of pop, punk and rock, Meek’s story is one of persistence, defiance and finally being heard.
