Career
[edit]2017–2024: Career beginnings as Georgia Meek
[edit]Meek was born in North London.[11] She began writing and releasing music as a teenager, focused on a style which blended together alternative pop and indie influences.[12] Early in her career, she performed locally across London and released music independently under her birth name Georgia Meek, building an audience through success on streaming platforms and a string of live shows across the UK.[11]
Whilst releasing music as Georgia Meek, she released a series of singles that established her presence in the UK alternative pop scene.[12] Her single "Swim" (featuring Katie Mac) was noted for its themes of empowerment and sexual exploration.[13] During this period, she was also selected to perform as part of BBC Music Introducing at Radio 1's Big Weekend 2020.[14]
Her early releases frequently explored personal themes including relationships, trauma recovery, and empowerment, with interviews highlighting her intention to create "liberation"-focused pop music inspired by personal experiences.[15]
In 2020, Meek founded Female Music Producers World (FMP World), a group of over 3,000 women working in music production.[16]
In 2021, Meek signed to publishing company Tileyard Music as a songwriter. She has since written a number of records for artists including Rita Ora,[6] Alan Walker,[7] Martin Garrix,[8] R3hab, Charlotte Plank[9] and Skepsis.[10]
In 2024, Meek co-wrote the song "Mara", Malta's submission for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, performed by Denise Mercieca.[17]

[edit]In 2024, Meek reintroduced herself under the mononym Meek.

Her debut single under BMG, "Fabulous", was released on 30 January 2026.[19] The track was described by critics as an energetic pop release inspired by queer nightlife culture,[20] while also highlighting the song’s confident pop sound.[21] The track was added to the Capital playlist on release[22][23] and was named a Future Bop on BBC Radio 1's "Future Pop" show.[24]
Following the release of her debut single as Meek, she was announced to be performing at festivals across the United Kingdom including Mighty Hoopla,[25][23] London Pride[26] and Boardmasters,[27] and sold out her debut headline show at London’s The Garage.[28]
