Meiko's Autobiography:
"I grew up in Roberta, Georgia (pop. 808)...
I'd have to say my biggest influence is my dad. He played guitar and sang for me ever since I was a baby. His music was the only thing I ever listened to as a kid.
And...Whoever bought me that Mariah Carey tape "Emotions" did me a huge favor... I would practice singing to her every day. I owe my lucky ear to my dad and that tape.
The first time I sang in public was at an all black Southern Baptist church on Christmas eve when I was 8. For some reason I decided to sing "White Christmas..." I just recently realized the humor in that -- but luckily at the time, everyone thought it was cute...
Soon after, I started singing in talent shows and would do the National Anthem for opening day of little league baseball.
I would always act like i could play my dads Gibson -- 'till he was getting pissed that I kept knocking it around...So he bought me my very own guitar when I was 13. As soon as i learned a new chord -- i wrote a new song...And thats pretty much how it goes."
Now my eyes are wide open
Now that every thing's been stolen
And I'm here to get it back from you
See I ain't wasting no more time
gotta take back whats mine
What else am i suppose to do
Here I am
with my heart on the floor
and my love out the door
you should be knocking
but there it goes
I got nothing to show for
except pictures i posed for
but i keep them in a box under my bed
I told you time and again
that you'd never win
I told you time and again
but you keep doing the same old things
when i thought you would change
I told you time and again
Here i am
with my heart on the floor
and my love out the door
you should be knocking
but there it goes
i got nothing to show for
except pictures i posed for
but i keep them in a box under my bed
oh, ooooo, oh oh
ooooo, oh oh
ooooo, oh oh
oh, ooooo, oh oh
ooooo, oh oh
ooooo, oh oh
Here i am
with my heart on the floor
and my love out the door
there it goes
i got nothing to show for
except i posed for
Here i am
with my heart on the floor
and my love out the door
you should be knocking
but there it goes
i got nothing to show for
except pictures i posed for
but i keep them in a box under my bed

Up-and-coming, star in the making, Meiko takes a seat in The House of Blues resteraunt after her set opening for fellow rising star Brett Dennen to talk to CleveRock Music Portal about her music background, life on the road for the first time, the surprising ease of marketing oneself without the backing of a major label, the MySpace revolution, getting her song "Reasons To Love You" on the smash hit television show 'Grey's Anatomy,' why her gangsta'-thug folk-singin' self earned a parental advisory label, and what she's going to do with her money when she inks a record deal.

I wanna go to hawaii
build my castle out of sand
and i won't need anybody
telling me that i can't
and you can't say that you see me
if you don't know who i am
you can't see that you need me
and neither one of us can be found
if neither one of us can be found
i wanna soak up the water
i dream about you every night
and in my mind will be an order
take it away in just one flight
and you can't say that you see me
if you don't know who i am
you can't see that you need me
and neither one of us can be found
if neither one of us can be found
if neither one of us can be found
