Being a mom and a musician is the best! I have been having so much fun playing songs off of my kids CD, and having my son with me at the shows makes it so special. We did a benefit show this past weekend for Cedars Sinai NICU. Melissa Rivers hosted and Bec Hollcraft and I performed. Going #1 on XM radio was such a surprise! I am glad people are requesting songs off the CD before we have even released it.

Other music news.
Bec and I have been writing and recording again. Her album is evolving beautifully and so is she as an artist. Rob Daiker, a friend from our home-town Portland, has been writing and recording with us too. He's a great musician with a cool band named Velabonz.

I also recently worked with a new artist on Epic named Juliet Simms. Man what a voice and a writer! You will be hearing about this girl for sure. Well other than that I am in the middle of many other projects, but mostly enjoying being a mom and having a blast playing.

Talk soon,

Hello Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been to visit in a while, being a full-time mommy is more full-time than even I had expected! However, there's been no greater joy or sense of fulfillment in my life. As a matter of fact, it's made me feel more creative than ever, and I believe has influenced my writing and work in the most positive way possible. I have just finished the first half of my artist, Bec Hollcraft's album and we are starting to work on the rest. Check out her website, www.BecHollcraft.com I think you'll find her amazing! I've been working with a few other artists, and when there is time, writing for myself. I think there may be some children's songs in the works... of course. I'm going to keep more involved with the website, now that I've found my way as a Mommy, producer, songwriter and artist, ...whew!!
Best to all of you.
Love,
Meredith

As some of you may know, I have signed my first artist to my production company/label Kissing Booth Music. Bec Hollcraft is an amazing young singer, songwriter and of course guitar player who deserves, and is earning, huge success as an artist. She totally rocks and is the real deal. Come check her out if you are in the the Los Angeles area. I'll hope to see you there Friday night!

Hi there. Hope you like the new website. I thought I would check in and let you all know what I've been up to. As some of you know I dipped my toes into production and songwriting for other artists. I started by producing Jennifer Love Hewitt's last album "Barenaked" and since then I wrote and produced a track "Party Up" for Hilary Duff's album "Metamorphosis". I signed my first artist, Bec Hollcraft this year. She is a very talented singer/songwriter that you will all be hearing a lot about soon (see link on community page).

A few months ago I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Phil McGraw and his lovely wife, Robin. They decided that my single "Shine" would be perfect for their new season. Since then I have had the opportunity to perform the song live on the show and in the new TV Ad campaign. I've always loved my last record and was very sad when my label folded and I thought that this would be the perfect way to get my album back out there. Dr. Phil and Robin have become like family to my family and me. Which brings me to my big news... The new addition to our family, my beautiful baby boy, Troy.

I look forward to getting back in touch with you, seeing you, and reading your posted messages. I also can't wait to see you in person. Tour date news to follow.

Love, Meredith
