Tyler Meacham

Tyler Meacham, RVA-based alternative-pop musician, is ushering in a moment of growth and contemplation with her new single “Better Than I Used to Be.” With the feel-good vibes of old school folk-rock, this song celebrates the opportunity for self-improvement and learning to grow from our mistakes.

Before the chorus, we get a look into what character trait Meacham is actively working on for herself as she sings, “Just when I start to settle down / on certain solid ground / the worst of me comes out.” Whether it’s an aversion to a routine, complacency, or repetition, it’s clear that calm waters can still stir up anxieties about whether this place our protagonist has found herself is truly what she wants in life.

Then as the chorus finally arrives, she points out that “It’ll take some time to sink in,” reminding us that change is often more incremental than we would like, but that she’s ready to make space for it. She recognizes that there is more work to be done but continues to mark the small victories. A message that is more resonant than ever: self-awareness is key.

Against the mix of acoustic and electric guitars, the swell of the vocals both musically and lyrically feels uplifting. Just as the lyrics encourage us to take the time we need to figure things out, this slow jam also takes its time to hit that encouraging feeling just right.

Whether dance floors are open or closed, pop music retains its power to move us, distilling complex emotional experiences into art that resonates the moment it hits our ears.

That immediacy is a hallmark of songs by indie-pop singer and songwriter Tyler Meacham, including her two newest, which arrive via your preferred streaming platform this Friday.

While neither “Unknowing” nor “Nothing Is Easy” mentions COVID-19 by name, you’re likely to see in them some part of your own journey through 2020.

“In a universal sense, it feels like we have been in a place of uncertainty and unknowing for the last year,” Meacham says.

Written prior to the pandemic, “Unknowing” hits extra-hard in light of the roller coaster we’ve all been on – one that’s forced us to come to terms with the fact that, as the song states so succinctly, “safety is no guarantee.”

“Not knowing when things are going to go back to normal, or whether or not we might get sick one week. ... There’s been so much ambiguity,” she says.

For musicians, that upheaval has been devastating. The need for social distancing put a halt to concerts, wiping out a vital line of income for an industry already in crisis over meager streaming royalties. Having released her “Property” EP shortly before the shutdown, Meacham felt the financial effects right away.

“We kept living, essentially, unemployment check to unemployment check for a while until there were opportunities to play safely,” Meacham says. “Even in those opportunities, there was always this internal debate: ‘Is that the wrong thing to do, because it’s still encouraging gatherings, still encouraging people to potentially put themselves in situations where they aren’t adhering to the protocols?’”


Shows at the Broadberry and Brambly Park Winery stood out as high points – the former streamed online, the latter outdoors. Nevertheless, moral questioning around gigging contributed to the pandemic’s emotional toll. Especially taxing was the grief at setting aside a core part of who she is. “Definitely the economic, financial side of things has been a difficult part of it,” she says, “but I think just being prevented from doing what so many of us are here to do … it was so heartbreaking. I don’t think enough people talk about that.”

Seeking an outlet for that frustration, she opened up on social media, finding validation from fellow musicians and a sense of purpose in enlightening her other listeners.

“There was this kind of confusion about how it was even possible that we were having to deal with this,” Meacham says. “A lot of those conversations became moments to educate people. … Our social media accounts can paint one picture of success and acclaim, or whatever the case may be, and then a pandemic hits and you can’t really run away or hide the truth. Struggle is real.”

The title and tone of “Nothing Is Easy” align closely with that struggle, but true to Meacham’s knack for bridging the personal and the prevalent, the song’s imagery is timeless. Waiting for a frozen landscape to thaw. Feeling stuck between where you’ve been and where you’re going. “I’m somewhere in the middle now,” she sings in one particularly powerful moment. As hard as that lyric hits, given the road to recovery ahead for the music industry, there’s hope in reading it as an invitation to consider the big picture.

“Ambiguity can create so much conflict and so much anxiety,” Meacham says, “and yet it is something that is part of our lives, forever. It’s just something that we have to go through.”

In the meantime, Meacham’s Patreon has emerged as a bright spot. The subscription-based crowdfunding platform may not have the follower count of her Instagram or TikTok, but it’s become a catalyst for community and productivity. “I’ve felt motivated by that really small group of people to share the best of me,” she says.

In addition to rewards connected to contribution level, patrons can access exclusive studio updates and blog posts on songs’ origin stories. There’s also the opportunity to share feedback, something Meacham has embraced.

“You’re essentially another member of my band. You’re helping me make decisions and determine how things are going to go in terms of my new music.”

Her next album hasn’t been announced yet, but knowing there’s more of Meacham’s indie-pop on the horizon certainly makes being “somewhere in the middle” more hopeful. - Style Weekly

VIRGINIA BASED INDIE-POP ARTIST TYLER MEACHAM IS BACK WITH BRAND NEW SINGLE ‘NO RUNNING AWAY’
“No Running Away” is the latest instalment from indie-pop songwriter Tyler Meacham.

An explosive indie attire about letting go and diving into love head-first, the track was entirely self-produced in Tyler’s home studio during quarantine.

For fans of Sara Bareilles, Lorde, MUNA and Bleachers, the new single is the first track off of Tyler’s debut album ‘Into the Fray’.

Going more in-depth about the single, Tyler shares, “No Running Away is about learning to let someone in, being vulnerable, and letting go of past hurts that prevent us from getting close to one another.

On a deeper level, this song is about coming into a relationship while still grieving the end of relationships past. It is difficult in that situation to feel like anyone or anything is permanent.

I really struggled with the idea of letting anyone past the walls I had put up to protect myself from any further hurt. But then someone started to love me, and I saw that it hurt him when I lumped him in with all the rest or assumed that he would leave me.

Constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop is no way to live and no way to love. This song is about committing, letting go, and loving wholeheartedly no matter the risk.”

A bittersweet reality, “No Running Away” is as relatable as it gets.

Yours to keep from tomorrow onwards, Tyler Meacham’s new single is cinematic and the perfect track for a coming-of-age film. - CLOUT

TYLER MEACHAM’S RIVER CITY ALT-POP
NOELLE ABRAHAMS | SEPTEMBER 3, 2019

Richmond singer-songwriter Tyler Meacham’s focused approach to her music is bringing career opportunities to her and great songs to the world.

If anyone ever told Tyler Meacham not to quit her day job, they’ve had to eat those words by now. The 25 year-old Richmond native ditched corporate America to pursue a music career and has quickly started making waves in the Mid-Atlantic indie scene.

Whether on stage or on the record, Meacham’s performances pack a powerful punch. She has a melodic, soulful voice and a natural stage presence – raw talent that’s hard to come by. And she’s much more than just a vocalist. On one song, she’ll be strumming a guitar riff and on the next she’s tickling the ivories, all while singing the lyrics that she wrote.

I was struck by her sound while attending a recent show at The Camel, and just had to know more. Luckily, I was able to talk with her before she and her band head off on a summer tour across the Eastern Seaboard to promote the upcoming release of her debut album.

Hailing from the West End, Meacham has music in her roots – her dad performs in cover bands. But while he may have helped harvest her love of music, he didn’t teach her to play guitar. “I was really stubborn as a kid,” says Meacham. “If you wanted me to learn an instrument, I was going to have to do it on my own.”

So that’s what she did. Meacham taught herself to play guitar in middle school, mainly using YouTube videos for instruction, and then started writing songs. She did a cappella in college and was also in a band while there. “It was just for fun though,” Meacham says. She studied film at Elon University and was dead set on a career in visual arts.

After graduating, Meacham landed her ostensible dream job at Walt Disney Imagineering. “To everyone from an outside perspective, I would be set for life with this job,” says Meacham. “But I found that I was incredibly unhappy.”

While living in Florida and working for Disney, she had almost given up on music. There was even a time when someone had asked her to join a band, but she said, “No, I don’t do that anymore. I have a real job now.”

Eventually, Meacham acknowledged that working behind a desk wasn’t working out for her. “I wasn’t thriving,” she says. “And I just really missed making music.” So, she moved back to Richmond and said, “All right, let’s try this again.”

Upon her return to Richmond, Meacham didn’t immediately start pursuing music as a career. She was still set on making the film industry work for her, so she applied for a video position with a record label in North Carolina. But her passion for making music was getting harder to ignore.

She recalled a conversation with the interviewer in which she was told it would be a really cool position because she’d have artists coming in and she’d get to work directly with them. But Meacham told me, “The whole time, all I could think of was that I’d much rather be the artist.”

Meacham got all the way through the interview process and thought she was a shoo-in for the position, but ended up not getting it. She didn’t feel disappointed or rejected though – the news actually came as a relief. “OK, now I have permission to completely change careers,” she recalls saying. “Maybe this is a sign.”

“For a minute, I felt a sense of failure,” says Meacham. “I felt like I had failed to maintain a ‘real person’ job, but in reality, I just had the opportunity to figure out what I really wanted to do way earlier in life than a lot of people do – that’s a huge gift.”

Support from friends and family made the jump a bit easier for her. While living in Florida, she would talk on the phone with her friends from college. They all told her she should be pursuing music and encouraged her to do an open mic or record something, but she was always looking for an excuse not to. “I was the last person to figure it out,” she says.

As for her parents, they’ve always been supportive of their daughter’s endeavors. “They still come to every show,” she says with a laugh. “Even the late ones that go until 2 in the morning! Plus, they let me go to film school, which is supportive in and of itself.”

Meacham spent 2018 writing a new song every month, posting the demos online and playing three or four open mic nights a week. She started meeting other musicians, who knew even more musicians, and now a handful of those people play in her band.

Now, she’s well past the open mic life and headlines local shows regularly with her band. She has over 1700 followers on her YouTube channel. A live version of her single “Moving On”, which was released in May 2019, has over 9300 views as of today. “Moving On” is available for streaming on Spotify, along with “Rumble” and “No Words”, two other singles from 2017.

She credits the tight-knit atmosphere of the River City’s music scene for the accelerated rate at which the project is moving. “That’s why I love Richmond,” says Meacham. “You spend enough time doing it, and eventually you know everyone else who’s doing it too.”

She and her band have a unique and robust live sound. Meacham plays either guitar or keyboard, depending on the song, and is backed by two additional guitarists, Joel Worford and Nate Hubbard, plus bassist Chip Hale and drummer Brandon O’Neill. One would think they’ve been playing together for years because of the expert cohesion you can hear, but the current band was formed when she was in the studio this past January recording her first EP.

Meacham hopes to release the album this October, but she’s still about $3500 short of the pricetag for all of the necessary expenses, including mixing, mastering, CD production, marketing, and promotion. She’s currently running a Kickstarter campaign that has already raised over $1000 from about 30 backers, but it ends on September 11, and there’s still quite a ways to go.

“It’s a really tough gamble doing a Kickstarter – it’s all or nothing,” says Meacham, referring to the fact that Kickstarter returns the money to the backers if the campaign doesn’t reach its goal. “But we’re going to get it done regardless. I’m not going to let the album sit for another five to six months.” Her determination is palpable and enviable.

The big single off of the EP, “Say Yes”, will be released soon, so keep an eye out for that on her YouTube channel or social medias. You can find her on FaceBook and Instagram. She wishes she could give an exact date, but laments that, “nothing is certain in the mixing and mastering process” — especially when funding is the main factor. The summer tour she’s embarking on will help with that though, especially through merchandise sales.

“Streaming doesn’t really provide anything to artists unless it’s by the millions. The money in music comes from touring and selling merchandise,” Meacham explains. Plus, physical copies of music like CD’s appeal to the consumer as much as they do the producer. “I’ve found that at shows, if you have a CD to offer, people will buy it and ask you to sign it because there’s still something special about having that physical product.” she says. “If you’re on Spotify, you can’t listen to an album and then read the credits. If you’re a musician and a music nerd like me, you want to know who did what.”

Amidst the whirlwind of her sudden success, Meacham still deals with sexism being a female in an industry that’s long been a “boys’ club.” “I’ve developed a thick skin,” she says. There’s been a lot of experiences she’s had that her male bandmates haven’t, such as inappropriate behavior from unruly patrons at gigs, sexist comments, and unsolicited mansplaining about how to play the guitar just after she’s played guitar extensively for a live audience.

She recalls a time when, after she’d taken the stage at an open mic, a guy cornered her at the bar. “He was talking my ear off like, ‘You were great, but you could’ve done this, this and this thing better.’ The feminist aspect of my song ‘You Know Nothing About Me Yet’ spawned from a lot of interactions at bars after gigs, like that one,” Meacham says.

It was impossible not to notice that she was the only female artist to grace the stage at her recent show at The Camel, which featured three bands. That’s the norm for Meacham. It has been ever since she started out by doing open mics in Richmond.

“It’s a little scary,” she says. “It’s something that I take notice of often, but I don’t let it prevent me from doing what I do. People have a tendency to view female-fronted music as a genre, but I just want to make good music and I happen to be a girl. It doesn’t have to be a boys’ club, and I mean that for the industry as a whole – there’s room for everybody at the table.”

Despite the emotional, physical and financial demands of making independent music, Meacham is committed to seeing this through. “Fewer people are going with labels,” she tells me. “There’s been a lot in the news lately about how major labels are really difficult to work with. Artists are losing the rights to their songs. Who knows what’s going to come down the line, if anything, but while independent music is difficult, time-consuming, and exhausting, it gives me so much freedom to navigate this the way that I want to.”

Meacham has big plans for not only herself, but the entirety of Richmond’s music scene. “Independent music is really hard to make, but there’s a lot of people here doing it right now,” she points out. Her hot take is that if we keep going out and supporting live shows, buying merch and promoting artists online, that’s how we take this city from the fringes of the industry to the mainstream. “I’d love to see that happen,” she says, “because there’s a lot of talent here.” And there’s certainly no doubt about that. - RVA Mag

Tyler Meacham – Moving On

From: Richmond, VA
Genre: Indie, Pop, Rock

After a year of writing and producing a demo a month for her following online in 2018, Tyler has tirelessly worked out any of the kinks and imperfections she may have had, appearing now as a poised and polished standout vocalist. “Moving On” has crossover potential written all over it, and with a new EP coming in the fall (if this little gem is any indication), she’ll be moving on to bigger and brighter stages shortly. - For The Love of Bands

Richmond singer-songwriter turned indie pop front-woman Tyler Meacham has just dropped her debut single “Moving On”.

Following a busy year of writing and sharing songs from her bedroom with her fans on social media – this is the first track with a full whack of production.

On the surface it’s relatively standard, break-up pop fare, but Meacham’s vocals really sell the song and there’s plenty of Americana ear candy simmering under the surface.

The song showed a lot of promise a year ago in her scrappy Youtube demo, so it’s nice to hear it fully realised here. Meacham’s bass player Chip Hale also collaborated on the production, making the clever decision not to overwhelm the vocals and take away from the story.

We’re looking forward to seeing how Tyler Meacham evolves as an artist – she clearly has a wealth of great content to drop when her debut EP releases in Fall 2019. - Xune Mag

OK, so it’s not ALL difficult music this week — local singer-songwriter Tyler Meacham is if anything just the opposite. Her beautiful pop music goes down like a cool drink of water, and the whole city now gets a chance to find this out, as she celebrates the release of her new single, “Moving On,” at the Camel tonight. Now, I am an old lady, and therefore have to be at least a little skeptical — how does a single release work in a post-streaming world? Does an artist even have anything to sell the people that come out? A download card, maybe? Or are even those passé now?

I guess we’ll all find out at The Camel tonight. One thing I do know for sure is that Tyler Meacham’s excellent voice, talented song construction, and flawless ear for pop melodies all show themselves to perfect effect on “Moving On,” a song that, if YouTube videos are any indication, I particularly enjoy in its full-band incarnation (though as a bit of a car nerd I am still kinda wondering what local shop they filmed that performance in). Tonight at the Camel, you’re sure to as well — and you’ll get a whole additional set from Meacham and her backing band, plus openers from fellow locals Little River Creek Police and Margox to glory in. Get stoked! - RVA Mag

"Meacham’s lyrics are affecting, and her delivery is timeless. I can imagine these songs sounding excellent in a zillion different styles, which is what you might say about standards that eventually enter the pop canon. The title/closing track is especially powerful. While I’m on record as praising dynamite first lines of songs, “Property” has a stunner of a closing lyric: “You don’t have to burn the house down to move all your property out.” Her words echo and dissipate, leaving you space to apply them uniquely to your own life. That’s pop music’s highest calling." - You Hear That?!

Hailing from Richmond, VA, Meacham creates folk-infused music that transports you to another time that’s drenched in sepia. - A&R Factory

On the other side of the map, 25-year old Tyler Meacham is crafting heartfelt pop that blends a multitude of influential genres to create a unique sound. While there’s some traditional pop that reigns supreme, Meacham’s sound also has some indie rock interference, as well as just a little bit of country twang that likely comes from living in the south. Songs like “Moving On” hit with near-perfection, though, with layered choruses and the combination of low-key verses with the ability to show off her vocal range as things progress. Check out the single here: - Breaking & Entering

Later this month, singer/songwriter Tyler Meacham is set to share her new album Into The Fray, the first full-length offering from the indie songwriting talent. Meacham debuted in 2019 with her first EP, Property, after leaving her corporate job to explore her songwriting dreams. On her upcoming full-length debut, Meacham moves quickly between full-blown pop productions and stripped-back numbers, showcasing new vulnerable corners to her songwriting and anthemic pop heights. She explores that authentic core on her latest effort, “You Mean Self,” premiering early with Under the Radar.

On “You Mean Self,” Meacham explores the tension between her faith and the outward hypocrisy she sees from the faithful. She laments the hypocrisy and selfishness of people who, as she puts it, say God but mean self. She wonders, “What’s left of holy these days? / Couldn’t find it in church or the state / If I fall in line for my faith when it’s weaponized / No saving face.” Meanwhile, the accompanying instrumental rings with the quiet strength of indie singer/songwriter fare and the crystal clear presentation of a pop production. Resonant chimes of guitar and shimmering production interlock with Meacham’s airy vocals to beautiful effect. Later, the song ascends to its final strident form with the stomping gospel-tinged bridge, transforming into a soaring anthem in its climactic moments.

Meacham explains of the track, “‘You Mean Self’ is a song about individuals that say ‘God’ but only think of themselves, rather than the selfless love that ‘God’ is supposed to signify. I’m a person of faith, although I’ve spent the last several years of my life reinventing what that truly means to me. It’s no secret that a large portion of the country leans on Christian morals as a political platform, even though the U.S. was supposedly founded on the principle of separation of church and state. I never quite had the words to describe the anger I felt about this because part of it is just frustration towards the blatant hypocrisy.”

She continues, “Then, I came across words from Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoken during a House Oversight Hearing in defense of LGBTQ rights. She said: “I feel as though if Christ himself walked through these doors and said what he said thousands of years ago—that we should love our neighbor and our enemy, that we should welcome the stranger, fight for the least of us… he would be maligned as a radical and rejected from these doors.” I reflected on that video a lot and eventually got the idea for this song. In my opinion, somewhere along the way — politicians learned to bend the values of religion to fit their platforms and satisfy their personal advancement — while completely whitewashing the figure that this entire religion was based on.”

Recently, I have found that my ‘dream’ job may not actually be my dream job. My mind starts telling my heart this or that, and suddenly my mind is in a tale spin of never-ending anxiety and confusion.

In short, singer-songwriter, and indie-pop artist, Tyler Meacham was dealing with many different things and decided she was going to quit HER dream job to pursue music. Similar to what a lot of people go through.

“‘As If What She Says’ is a song about self-worth, self-love and body image,” explains indie-pop artist Tyler Meacham. Set to release on Wednesday, November 17, this will be Meacham’s latest single off her ultra-authentic Into The Fray album due out February 25, 2022.

Meacham was climbing the glorified ladder of success and able to secure her dream job, yet, she found herself incredibly unhappy. “I followed a very clear-cut path for my life — get good grades, get into a good college, pick a major that can result in a well-paying job, get the job and be comfortable forever,” says Meacham.

“I ended up in an amazing corporate job that I really wanted to love. It was a dream job! I practically lived in a theme park. However, I made the unconscious choice to put aside songwriting and any dream I had of being a musician for the security of a good paycheck, good job title, and a plannable future.” Tyler continued.

This led Meacham to give up the job she worked so hard to obtain, move back to her hometown of Richmond, Virginia, and back to making music. This bittersweet reality has now catapulted her to the musical heights she sits at now; releasing original music and performing live — including a tour that had her playing to a handful of strangers in a living room and a sold-out 3,000 seat theater, all on the same run.

Laid on strong foundations of narrative-forward songwriting, Tyler Meacham’s musical tastes and inspirations gravitate towards self-made songwriter-producers such as Sara Bareilles, Bleachers (Jack Antonoff), and OneRepublic (Ryan Tedder). With her productions eclectic to the core, Tyler’s versatile approach has led her to develop tracks spanning from fully produced pop to more stripped-back sonic affairs.

Lyrically, everything Tyler writes pivots around emotional experiences from her past, honing in on love, loss, and her personal struggle with anxiety and self-esteem.

Tyler Meacham has been exploring the layers of love, vulnerability, acceptance, self-awareness, self-worth, and all of the complexities that engulf them. The indie pop artist wrote about these themes during what she refers to as “a time of grief spent trying to remind myself of my reasons for waking up every day.” The result is her authentic, 10-song Into The Fray album – which will bless our ears on Feb 25, 2022.

On her upcoming album, “Whether I’m writing a song about anxiety or relationships, I often start without realizing there’s something I need to process,” Tyler reflects.. “By the end of writing it, I’ve hopefully discovered something new. I try not to shy away from authenticity and vulnerability in my songwriting. I know I’m not the only person in the world that struggles with mental health.”

With Into The Fray, there is definitely a through line to take away about how our relationship with self can transform our relationships with others. “But more than anything,” finalizes Meacham, “I hope people hear these songs and maybe feel a little less alone, a little less lost in whatever it is life has presented them with.”

Tyler Meacham embodies what it means to be an artist. The music that she is releasing is not only beautiful, but it is all so relatable in so many ways. She has one of the prettiest, most unique voices I have personally heard in music in so long, and at PopWrapped, we are so excited to see what is next for her.

Emerging indie pop artist Tyler Meacham has released her latest single, "You Mean Self." Another standout from her ultra-authentic Into The Fray album due February 25, this new track is not your typical hymnody - rather an exploration of faith & hypocrisy - as Meacham sings, "What's left of holy these days? Couldn't find it in church or the state. If I fall in line for my faith when it's weaponized, no saving face."

Yesterday, Under The Radar revealed the latest single, expressing that the "resonant chimes of guitar and shimmering production interlock with Meacham's airy vocals to beautiful effect. Later, the song ["You Mean Self"] ascends to its final strident form with the stomping gospel-tinged bridge, transforming into a soaring anthem in its climactic moments."

"You Mean Self," takes a political bent. "I think it might be one of the most interesting and reflective songs I've ever written," says Meacham. "I grew up in a conservative Christian environment, and as an adult I've had a really complicated relationship with the church. At some point in my late teens/early 20s I realized how little I agreed with the politics that were being held by many American Christians, and still believe those politics to be in complete disagreement with what the Bible actually preaches."




"It's really important to me that as an artist, I'm not just a pretty girl writing pretty pop songs," continues Meacham. "If there's a message about something I believe in and it will fit into a song that I'm working on, I'm going to share it unabashedly."

Meacham was climbing the glorified ladder of success and able to secure her dream job, yet, she found herself incredibly unhappy. "I followed a very clear cut path for my life - get good grades, get into a good college, pick a major that can result in a well-paying job, get the job and be comfortable forever," says Meacham. "I ended up in an amazing corporate job that I really wanted to love. It was a dream job! I practically lived in a theme park. However, I made the unconscious choice to put aside songwriting and any dream I had of being a musician for the security of a good paycheck, good job title, and a plannable future."


Meacham is ready to continue her forward momentum into the fray of life. "Whether I'm writing a song about anxiety or relationships, I often start without realizing there's something I need to process,'' reflects Meacham. "By the end of writing it, I've hopefully discovered something new. I try not to shy away from authenticity and vulnerability in my songwriting. I know I'm not the only person in the world that struggles with mental health."

Equally relatable, emotionally heavy and laid on strong foundations of narrative-forward songwriting and eclectic productions, Tyler's versatile approach has led her to develop tracks spanning from fully produced pop to more stripped-back sonic affairs. Lyrically, everything she writes pivots around emotional experiences from her past, honing in on love, loss, and her personal struggle with anxiety and self-esteem.

With Into The Fray, there is definitely a through line to take away about how our relationship with self can transform our relationships with others. "But more than anything," finalizes Meacham, "I hope people hear these songs and maybe feel a little less alone, a little less lost in whatever it is life has presented them with." - Broadway World Music
