“Hello, I’m Meaghan Smith. I like to draw and paint, and I love to sing. I have always loved to sing. Music played a big role in my
family. I used to sing with my three wonderful sisters in four part harmony. My mom is a piano player and my dad is a gifted
singer, bass player and whistler. We spent a lot of time making music together. I started playing piano when I was young and

“Hello, I’m Meaghan Smith. I like to draw and paint, and I love to sing. I have always loved to sing. Music played a big role in my
family. I used to sing with my three wonderful sisters in four part harmony. My mom is a piano player and my dad is a gifted
singer, bass player and whistler. We spent a lot of time making music together. I started playing piano when I was young and
later, guitar. When I was 12 I wrote a few songs. But I was really REALLY shy so no one ever heard them. After years of singing
with my family I had developed an acute case of overwhelming, knee-shaking, stomach turning stage fright.
Meanwhile, I somehow graduated from high school and went to college for classical animation. I was so shy, I figured being a
musician was not a possibility for me because I couldn’t work up the nerve to play in front of anyone. The next best thing was to
draw. But I had some really good friends at college, and they encouraged me to sing some of my songs for them. I started
playing little shows in the stairwells of my college, where the acoustics were really good. Eventually my teachers and friends
started coming to my stairwell concerts and I slowly gained a little bit of confidence.
It wasn’t until I moved to Halifax for a job in animation that I really started to try to get over my stage fright. I couldn’t go on
with my life till l had at least tried. So after work I went to open mics to attempt to get over my stage fright. It took four years,
but finally I started to be able to sing in front of people the way I sang alone. « hide |
