About MEÏA Santiago

Meïa is an award-winning Spanish singer, songwriter, composer, and actor who started making music and a name for herself in Barcelona, Spain. After receiving her degree in Jazz and Modern Music Performance from ESEM Taller de Músics in Barcelona, she toured throughout Spain—building an audience and media buzz through her unique blend of musical genres. She released several records including the EP Mülzien 25, which was produced by Dani Vega, guitarist of the Spanish pop rock band Mishima , and the album Lighthouse with Spanish record label Picap. Meïa relocated to New York City in 2018 and has continued to push herself artistically through collaborations with city-based artists and at a wide range of legendary music venues including City Winery, DROM, Nublu, and Joe’s Pub. She has expanded her voice or composition skills by venturing into new genres, like experimental movement and acting, to strengthen her work and the stories she shares about womanhood. She released the EP Stoop n° 6 in 2021, featuring two original works and two covers, with the support of the management company Paradise Hill Productions and singer-songwriter Kelsey Warren (aka Blak Emoji). She most recently wrote an original score for the theater work Fantastic Mr. S, which premiered at the United Solo Festival at Theatre Row NYC in October 2022. Her latest single “I Can’t Stay Away From You,” a jazz pop ballad, was released in June 2023. She co-wrote the song with Morris Hayes, Prince’s keyboardist and collaborator for more than 15 years, who’s also the music producer of the song. Meïa and the film director, Blake Davis, shooted the music video for the song at the studio DreamTone NYC and it was released at the end of June 2023.
