BIOGRAPHY

Sweet Megg is a dynamic vocalist and songwriter originally from New York City, now based in Nashville. Her debut indie-jazz album, Under the Moonlight (2020), released on Bushwick’s Dala Records, caught the attention of Trustee of the Paris Review and long-time patron of the New York art scene, Scott Asen, who eventually launched, Turtle Bay Records (2020) with Megg as one of his debut artists. The partnership led to her second release, I’m in Love Again (2021), before she relocated to Nashville to explore her love for songwriting and country music. There, she released two albums under Turtle Bay: My Window Faces the South (2022) and Bluer than Blue (2023), blending jazz influences with Nashville’s rich storytelling tradition.

She then released Christine’s Daughter in 2021 which showcased her unique ability to fuse various genres she’d embraced throughout her career.  She began her career at 16 as a songwriter and this was her first endeavor back into the realm of original music since her deep dive into the world of jazz.  

In Nashville, she reconnected with fellow ex-New Yorker Scott Bradlee of Postmodern Jukebox. Collaborating on videos, including a viral 1920s-style cover of a Dua Lipa song, Sweet Megg pushed her eclectic jazz-rock style to a wider audience.  She toured with Postmodern Jukebox through Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the US from 2021-2023.  In 2023, she was recruited by Cirque du Soleil to lead a new country music-based project. Before touring with the renowned company, she recorded two more independent albums: one a full collection of original music produced by Dennis Crouch and Mose Wilson, the other a spacey, experimental jazz quartet recorded in upstate New York.

She is now preparing to release her next full original album which will blend classic influences with a modern edge, capturing both nostalgia and creative innovation.  Produced by Crouch (bass) and Wilson (guitar), the album features Nashville’s top studio musicians, including Russ Pahl (guitar/steel), Billy Contreras (fiddle), Jeff Taylor (piano/accordion), and Chris Gelb (drums).
