(January 21, 2018) The past few months have been world-changing, with women becoming empowered to more openly discuss both sexual harassment in the workplace and domestic violence at home. An emerging pop-soul artist based in New York City, Meecah is a 21-year vocalist taking a powerful stance both musically and lyrically.
Born Micailah Lockhart, Meecah began her career singing in the church choir as a child, but learned a lot at home: she is the daughter of a musician who worked alongside The Commodores.
In September, Meecah debuted her first EP, New Moon Rising, demonstrating both her powerful voice and her chops as a songwriter. And one listen to her single, “Higher,” and you’ll see that she has put a very personal tough on a societal issue. She tells us, “I wrote this song to heal myself and attempt to move on from what happened. When it was released, it became an anthem for domestic violence survivors because it spoke to their trauma. Having a single that brings awareness to abuse in addition to women having the right to say no and be heard – I’m glad to have that.”
Take a listen to “Higher,” and welcome Meecah to SoulTracks.
