Occasionally, we can be overwhelmed by our internal turmoil and give up on life. We are all at different stages of our lives, trying to achieve our dreams despite our ups and downs. Creative Soul, Megan Graney is a prodigious artist and a beacon of light, showing us that although life can be a painful ride, it can also be the most magical experience and it is up to us to make that a reality, taking it slowly, facing our demons, and staying focused on our personal truth.
Megan Graney is a Singer-Songwriter from the Bay Area, currently residing in West Hollywood. Music was a part of Megan’s life as early as middle school when she joined the school chorus. After high school, she went to Sonoma State University to study vocals and classical work. To broaden her horizons, she studied Music Business & Management at Berklee College of Music. This helped her gain the necessary wisdom to protect and care for her music career, while she further developed her voice singing in jazz a cappella groups.
At that time, Megan was not interested in becoming a performer, she was simply learning the well-rounded way of the music industry. After graduating from college, she took some time off to tend to family matters that required her attention.
In 2016, Megan dove into the film world, working in the admin department of music composition for motion pictures. She got to work on hiring and managing the musicians for the score of Despicable Me 3. It was then that Megan had an epiphany, realizing she could be one of the musicians singing for such a project, Megan’s talents and beautiful voice are worthy of that and more.
Sadly, Megan was faced with the loss of her father after battling an illness. She was left to reevaluate her priorities and decided to go after her dreams. Amid her turbulence, Megan found space to write music, allowing her to process her emotions, whether it was anger, deep sadness, betrayal, loss, blessings, or gratitude. Megan feels like a vessel to channel her inner state and take control of her narrative, creating time for self-healing.
In 2021, Megan started releasing her music and building a catalog for sync (song placements on tv, films, commercials, etc.) focusing on a strategy to build solid relationships and connections in the music business. A few of her singles include, “So It Goes”, a soulful, jazzy, and gorgeous track where Megan pours her heart out, leaving us mystified by her velvet-honey and melancholic voice.
Not only is Megan a one-of-a-kind musician, but she’s also a heroine for persevering to reach her goals while rising above it all, even when dealing with Crohn’s Disease. Megan took a holistic healing approach to her wellness, awakening her spiritual body to dig deep within her core and discern who to trust in her life, without feeling ashamed of her emotional state, no matter what.
Megan is planning on creating songs with intentional themes for inner healing, aiming to launch a Sound Bath Concert to have a ceremonial experience with the audience. She wants people to navigate their emotions, especially those darker ones full of betrayal and loss, to help them transmute their inner state into a better version of themselves.
Artists like Megan are beautiful examples of finding a light at the end of the tunnel and creating something fulfilling with the pain. Megan Graney is here to help us awaken the music of our souls and find our way to release and let go of anything that is obscuring our light, feeling courageous to thrive, love, and create.
