Soul Series VIII: Meagan De Lima

MEAGAN DE LIMA

Meagan De Lima is a Toronto singer-songwriter crafting R&B music that comes from a place of heart-centered sweetness and compassion. Together, herself and producer Mark Pelli (Sabrina Claudio, Chris Brown) blend contemporary R&B with acoustic soul that is warm and lush.

Both her grandparents originated from Goa, India, and Meagan's parents were born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. Her grandfathers were both jazz musicians who toured in India, Africa, and Canada when they immigrated in the ’60s. This formed her natural affinity for music at a young age. Meagan fell in love with singing at a young age, belting songs by Toni Braxton at home. Music was a safe harbour for her growing up and her records are at equal turns vulnerable and relatable to anyone dealing with personal struggles.
