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

Early life and education

[edit]

From an early age, Mereki participated in school choir. During her university years in Melbourne, she joined her first band, which marked the beginning of her path as a singer-songwriter.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Mereki has lived in London, Scotland, Melbourne, and New York City before settling in Los Angeles, where her career developed.[3]

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.[4] She was spotted by Ariel Rechtshaid, prompting their collaboration on "Golden Boy", recorded by Kylie Minogue in 2014.[5]

Mereki has writing credits with Phantogram, and Atrak, and guest artist and co-writer credits on tracks with Dhani Harrison, Basenji, Flight Facilities, Holychild,[6] and Goldroom.[7] While fronting Goldroom,[8] she performed across the US and internationally,[9][10] before going on to perform with electronic act Flight Facilities as their featured vocalist on the duo's sold-out North American tour.[when?]

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.[11][12][13]

Mereki's debut solo single "Blue Lake" was released in 2014.[14] 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.[15][16]

She made her live solo UK debut at the Glastonbury Festival 2022[17] and followed this up with another performance at the festival in 2023.[18]

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.[19]

In 2025 Mereki released her single "Truv Luv" and the follow-up track "Hollywood Sign". Mereki released her second album, Buttercup, on September 19, 2025 on BunBun Records.[20] It was mixed and mastered by Grammy-winner Paul Hicks and features musicians such as Dhani Harrison, Fred Armisen, Sam Stewart.[21]

Other activities

[edit]

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,[22] 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.[23]

Personal life

[edit]

As of 2024, Mereki's partner is musician Dhani Harrison.[24]
