Megan started playing the piano at the age of nine when an old man named George decided to sell his piano. She sometimes
wonders where she would have ended up if George didn’t sell his piano! When Megan
stared having lessons, she’d get bored of playing the notes on the page and
would go off on improvisational tangents.
These sessions turned into
to a love of creating and writing music.
Megan’s
earliest compositions were for orchestral ensembles and solo piano. They had a classical influence. Angel
Returns was one of these. She
performed Angel Returns at the
Musician of the Year Awards in High School and was awarded the Audience
Award. Whilst in High School her
composition Antony & Cleopatra
won the national Shakespeare Competition.
She went to Sydney to write music for the Shakespeare Globe Centre’s
production of Pericles. In 2008, she also went to Sydney to
participate in the television series Battle of the Choirs with the Sunbury
Divas. Megan has been involved in
several choirs over the years.
Megan’s
background in songwriting sparked an interest in audio, sound and
recording. She studied a
Bachelor of Music Technology at Victoria University, where she learned and developed skills in music production and audio
engineering. The University Campus
was located at the old asylum on Jackson’s Hill, Sunbury. It was a place full of stories,
legends and tales of odd happenings.
Megan gained some first hand ones! Whilst studying she recruited fellow music students to
play on her album "A Lone Girl at the
Piano." The album features
piano, drums, bass, guitar, violin and cello. She currently has her own home studio where she
continues to write and produce music.
Her first album is currently in the last stages of production.
