about merritt:

Merritt’s songwriting took flight when she found herself living in Jackie Kennedy’s room at Miss Porter’s School, an all-girls boarding school in Connecticut. She immersed herself in the songs and essays of Jackie’s era: Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Carole King, Joan Didion. While in high school, she recorded her debut album Eyes On Us with a Grammy-winning producer in Nashville. Merritt continued to develop her own sound through her studies at the University of Virginia, as an independent artist in Nashville, and as a master’s student at Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain. Next, she is moving to Los Angeles.

Merritt writes with tangible authenticity about her life experiences, from breaking up with a best friend to heartbreak to the anxiety around growing up and the race to success that comes with it.

She will release her sophomore album in Spring 2025.
