She started her career as a singer, but began writing and releasing professional music with Grammy Award-winning producers Dan Nigro, Justin Raisen, and SADPONY.[citation needed] She was spotted by Ariel Rechtshaid, prompting their collaboration of "Golden Boy", recorded by Kylie Minogue.[1]

In 2013, DCUP released "Don't Be Shy" remix, feat. Mereki. A music video to accompany the track, directed and executive produced by Australian director Tim White and starring Japanese fashion model Kozue Akimoto, was released to accompany the single.[4][5][6]
Mereki's debut solo single, "Blue Lake", was released in 2014.[7] Mereki released a few singles that landed her music in a Victoria’s Secret commercial. In 2017, Mereki released her EP Beach. The songs on Beach have Mereki’s signature style, a distinctly pop-feel with positive messaging, while tracks like “Spiritual”, “French Kissing” and “Got It All” also hold an ethereal, dreamy quality.[8][9]
She made her live solo UK debut at the Glastonbury Festival 2022[10] and followed this up with another performance at the festival in 2023.[11]
In 2022, Mereki released her single "Presence" and the follow-up track, "Twin Flame", in 2023. Her debut full-length solo album, Death of a Cloud was released on 24 March 2023, via BMG and her own label BUNBUN Records.[citation needed]

The Clubhouse motto "Be Kind" grew into a non-profit organisation of the same name,[12] which then held an annual Holiday Benefit Concert – the last event selling out the legendary Troubadour in 2019. Past participants include Sharon Van Etten, John C. Reilly, and Jim James.[13]
