Mereki has lived in London, Scotland, Melbourne, and New York before settling in Los Angeles, where her career developed.[4]
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.[5] She was spotted by Ariel Rechtshaid, prompting their collaboration on “Golden Boy”, recorded by Kylie Minogue in 2014.[6]
Mereki has writing credits with Phantogram, and Atrak, and guest artist and co-writer credits on tracks with Dhani Harrison, Basenji, Flight Facilities, Holychild,[7] and Goldroom.[8] While fronting Goldroom,[9]she performed across the US and internationally,[10][11] before going on to perform with electronic act Flight Facilities as their featured vocalist on the duo's sold-out North American tour.[when?]
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.[12][13][14]
Mereki's debut solo single, "Blue Lake", was released in 2014.[15] 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.[16][17]
She made her live solo UK debut at the Glastonbury Festival 2022[18] and followed this up with another performance at the festival in 2023.[19]
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.[20]
