short biography
The birthplace of the future star was Nantucket. For those who are not very knowledgeable, Nantucket is an island. Geographically, he belongs to the state of Massachusetts. The main attraction of the island is that it is just tiny. Its length does not exceed 24 km.
Date of birth was December 22, 1993. Megan was born in a family of rather high affluence. Her parents, Harry and Kelly Traynor owned a small jewelry store, which brought a steady income. The shop is called "Jewel of the Isle", which can be translated as the pearl of the island.
Megan began to get involved in music in any of its manifestations at a very young age. Even at the age of six, her parents noted her love for songs, she constantly tried to try herself as a performer. Naturally, not professionally, but speaking at home meetings with friends, friendly gatherings of parents and so on.
Six years later, when Megan entered the beginning of adolescence, she expanded her interest. Versification was in the zone of her attention, she began to try herself as a songwriter. And, it is worth noting that for a 12-year-old, her texts were distinguished by high quality, brightly selected rhyme, unexpectedly subtle meaning with some allusions. What, of course, do not expect from a child.
In 2004, at a celebration in which her aunt and uncle married, Traynor tried herself for the first time in a semi-professional performance. To the accompaniment of the piano, Megan surprised everyone with the beautiful performance of the famous song "Heart and Soul".
As it was already specified, from the age of 12, the future star began to actively comprehend the music industry. We can say that at this moment she moves to professional "rails" under the guidance of her father. He, fortunately, just worked as a music teacher, so he helped his daughter's passion. In general, he helped her earlier. Even as a child, little Megan sang in the church choir, where her father occasionally played.
Megan's parents bought for her all the necessary equipment, music, recording, and the like. Created all the conditions so that their children could develop their hobbies to any height. By the way, the singer herself often notes in an interview that she is incredibly grateful to her parents for what they have done for her. It was they who created the new talent and the opening of the pop scene. Without their help, we would never have heard the beautiful songs of Megan Trainer.
From 12 to 15 years, Megan was a member of a small musical group of a parochial character, in which family members were also present. She wore the plain name "Island Fusion". In fact, these three years have become fundamental for the development of a future star. They taught her a professional approach to music, performances, songwriting. Perseverance and work, so necessary for creative people, Megan took root in this period.
After the small band was dissolved, it was time for a qualitative change. Traynor enters the College of Music in Berkeley. And in 2009 there is a performance on the American talent show, which focuses on the author's songs and their performers. By the way, Megan herself recalls this moment with ambivalent feelings. On the one hand, this is her first serious competition. On the other hand, she laughingly confesses that she was the fullest girl of all those present. And rivals looked at her, to say the least, skeptical. At that time, in principle, the girl was not attracted to the performances. She was aware of her completeness, she understood that she did not have enough appearance for the stage. And shy, what a sin to confess. Therefore, she focused her main attention on writing lyrics.
At the age of eighteen, Megan settles in Nashville and begins to work actively. But not as a performer, but as an author. She writes lyrics for both small groups and high-profile celebrities. Her record includes collaboration with Shay Mooney and Hunter Haze. And the theme of all these songs lay in the country sphere. And, as Traynor herself honestly said later, it was not her music at all. She did it because there was no decent alternative. In addition, at the same time, Megan completely releases the whole album "I'll Sing With You".
And only in 2014, Traynor begins to do what she really likes. She starts singing in her musical style. The start of this activity was an agreement with "Epic Records". And almost immediately released the most famous and sensational single, which brought her popularity. Of course, this is "All About That Bass". He conquered the first lines of the charts with a crazy speed, did not leave competitors a chance in the charts.
Her first album of a studio character is considered "Title", which was released in January 2015. It is noteworthy that his mini version was released a little earlier under the same name. To some extent, it was a preview of the full version.
