LA’s South Bay born & raised alternative artist, MEGG, blends her love for pop music with her punk rock roots to create a fearless sound for the tomboys, loudmouths, romantics, and all the misfits in-between. As one of the first five vocalists to graduate from USC’s Popular Music Performance Program in the Thornton School of Music, MEGG has shared the stage with many legends, has performed the National Anthem at Dodger games, and you may also recognize her from her memorable appearance on NBC’s The Voice. A signed songwriter with Reel Muzik Werks Publishing, MEGG's voice blends the fiery energy of Hayley Williams and the raw edge of Joan Jett, all wrapped in a nostalgic, early-2000s vibe. She dropped seven singles in 2024, with her latest banger, "The End," debuting last week. We talk about it all, including her upcoming gigs performing at this year's Warped Tour!
