"Meggie Lou's BIO"

MEGGIE LOU
Hi, I am Meggie Lou from Hantsport, Nova Scotia. I am thirteen years old and I am in grade eight at Hantsport School. Our town of Hantsport has approximately 1191 people.
I guess that is why my brother and I perform “Famous in a Small Town” By Miranda Lambert, together because it suits us. J

I love performing, and I have been performing since I was four years old. It was at L E Shaw Elementary School. Avonport, NS in Grade one. I used to be so shy that my Mom bought a hat and sunglasses to wear to hide my face. I did not like anyone looking at me while I was on stage.
Now I still like to wear hats, but not for that reason. J

I love and admire Taylor Swift, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Carrie Underwood, Leanne Rimes, Keith Urban, Shania Twain, Miranda Lambert and Avril Lavinge. I know quite a few of their songs and perform them at many local functions.

My Step-Dad (Craig)taught me how to play guitar when I was 9 and he also taught my brother Mac. See, my Mom has us three, Tyler, Mac and Me, and my Step-Dad has his three, Courtney, Morgan and Ryan, and Jodie May is the link for the two families. My Mom and Craig used to date in High School and 15 years later met each other again and got married. It is a happy and amazing story of what you have to endure to find happiness and love. I get a lot of my ideas for my songs from the stories they tell me about their life. We are known as the “McNeil Bunch” and you can find us on “you tube”.

Craig, Ryan, Mac and I, all play guitar, so…..someone had to be the singer, or as Craig says,….he wanted to watch me and not have to play for me anymore. He wanted to sit in the audience for once.J

I have performed at many functions such as the Apple Blossom Teas, Kingsport Gala Days, Scott’s Bay Days, Lawrencetown & Aldershot Idol, Port Williams, Woodville, White Rock, Hals Harbour, and Scott’s Bay Variety Shows, Weddings, Reunions, Retirement Parties, Graduations, Benefits, Musicals, Plays, Dinner Theatre, “Night Kitchen”, Wolfville, “Open Mic“, Spitfire, Windsor, and even the exciting opportunity to perform with the “Country Generations” Band in Margaretsville.

I have also written and composed four of my own songs that I have just recently registered with the “Songwriters Association of Canada”. One song, I have currently entered in a songwriters contest in USA.

I have also entered a few contests in the past. Most of the contests though have an age limit and I was not old enough at the time. Some may feel I am too young, and that I have plenty of time to pursue my dreams,
But I feel that I am mature enough, talented enough, and goal driven enough , and have 100% of my family’s support to help me to fulfill my dream. I hope to be thought of as a “contestant” and that my age would not be the deciding factor.

The most exciting contest, was a Shania Twain Contest I entered when I was seven and I won a CD from Shania Twain. Part of my video, of myself singing a Shania hit, was played on Canada AM and they made some very nice comments on the air about my voice.

This summer I am booked to perform at “Paddy’s Pub” in Wolfville on August 15th, the Windsor Farm Markets, Hantsport Canada Day Festivities, “Open Mic” at the “Spitfire” in Windsor, and also to appear as a guest at the “Night Kitchen” Wolfville. (Pending ---Saxby’s in Riverview)

I would really appreciate your votes in order to win the year end finale and become the “2009 Maritime Idol” and obtain a demo CD and Contract deal. I feel I have what it takes to take this to the next level of success with 100% support from every member of my family. I will be proud to represent the Maritimes and our talent we have and to also fulfil my dream of becoming a young performer for Canada’s young people to be proud of.
Thanks, Meggie Lou

Bio

“MEGGIE LOU”

I am “Meggie Lou” from Hantsport, Nova Scotia. I am 15 years old and I am going into grade eleven in 2011-12, at Horton High School.

Our town of Hantsport has approximately 1191 people.
I guess that is why my brother and I perform “Famous in a Small Town” By Miranda Lambert, together because it suits us.

I love performing, and I have been performing since I was four years old. My first performance was at L. E. Shaw Elementary School, Avonport, NS, in grade one. I used to be so shy, that my Mom bought a hat and sunglasses to wear to hide my face. I did not like anyone looking at me while I was on stage. Now, I still like to wear hats, but not for that reason.

I love, and admire Taylor Swift, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Carrie Underwood, Leanne Rimes, Keith Urban, Shania Twain, Miranda Lambert, and many more. I know quite a few of their songs and perform them at many local functions.

My Step-Dad (Craig) taught me how to play guitar when I was nine. He also taught my brother Mac. See, my Mom has us three, Tyler, Mac and Me, and my Step-Dad has his three, Courtney, Morgan and Ryan, and together they have Jodie May. Jodie May, is the link for the two families, and my biggest fan. We are known as the “McNeil Bunch” and you can find us on “you tube.” Craig, Ryan, Mac and I, all play guitar, so…..someone had to be the singer.

I have performed at many functions such as the Apple Blossom Teas, Kingsport Gala Days, Scott’s Bay Days, Lawrencetown & Aldershot Idol, Port Williams, Woodville, White Rock, Hals Harbour, and Scott’s Bay Variety Shows, Weddings, Reunions, Retirement Parties, Graduations, Benefits, Musicals, Plays, Dinner Theatre, “Night Kitchen”, Wolfville, “Open Mic,” Spitfire, Windsor. I have also had the exciting opportunity to perform with the “Country Generations” Band in Margaretsville.

Jerry Neville, from AVR, invited me to perform my songs “LIVE on AIR” on AVR, one morning after he saw my performance at an Upper Clements competition. I loved it when he said, “Coming up….after Alan Jackson, we have “Meggie Lou” in the studio this morning.” I will never forget those words as long as I live.

This summer I performed at the “Cancer Relay Race” in Windsor. I sang a tribute song by Melissa Ethridge.

My songs have also been played on 4 internet radios stations.

My demo Cd is being produced by Wild West Productions, and is almost completed.If you would like a copy, e-mail me. I have also written and composed seven of my own songs. They are registered with the “Songwriters Association of Canada”. One song will be used along with a heritage display about “Anne Frank” and her life. It was written as a project in English class about the diary of Anne Frank, and I put it to music for the display.

The most exciting contest was a Shania Twain Contest I entered when I was seven and I won a CD from Shania Twain. Part of my video, of myself singing a Shania hit, was played on Canada AM.

I alsoparticipated in the “Maritime Idol” competition. This competition had contestants from the age of 13-34 for all the Maritimes. Although I did not win the competition, it helped me improve my confidence and stage presentation ability. I ended up being ranked 6th for the whole competition. I was described as “engaging and pure.” The most exciting night, was when my ranking was #1 with the audience. This was the night I performed my own song, for the first time in front of a live audience.

This past spring I also had the opportunity to perform at the ECMA's in PEI on the discovery stage. I was also able to meet George Canyon. He said he was listening to my CD in his vehicle. The scout pulled me from the discovery stage and put me on the ECMA radio for a 45 minute interview. It was a very exciting moment, to hear my entire Demo played on the radio.

I will be proud to represent Nova Scotia‘s talent. I have a tremendous amount of support from my family and my community. I look forward to fulfilling my dream of becoming a young Canadian performer, for our young Canadians to be proud of.

THANK YOU, MEGGIE LOU
