The alternative R&B rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer Mereba learned to play guitar from a folk guitar teacher when she was a young teenager in North Carolina. This has shaped the way she writes her songs. Her focus is on simple stories from everyday life, metaphors related to nature, melancholic tones, and criticism of the system.
Through her debut album The Jungle is the Only Way Out, many doors opened for Mereba. This even led to a connection with the icon Stevie Wonder, who mentored Mereba around the same time. She has also collaborated extensively with rappers like JID, Earthgang, and 6lack.
This year, Mereba released a brand-new album: The Breeze Grew a Fire. The album is a loving, inspiring return to her roots, where Mereba lets go of a painful past, moves into future possibilities, and flows with the current of life. Surrounded by the warmth of relationships and memories, Mereba feels empowered, both as an artist and as a mother.
