Meaghan Smith is a singer, songwriter, illustrator, and visual artist whose work blends nostalgia with raw emotion. With a Juno Award for Best New Artist, multiple ECMA wins, and a Polaris Prize-nominated album (The Cricket’s Orchestra), her music has resonated across the world, featured in Gray’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Queer Eye, Emily in Paris, and more.
Her songs, rich with storytelling and warmth, have taken her across North America and the UK, sharing stages with Sarah McLachlan, k.d. lang, Jools Holland, Ron Sexmith, Chantal Kreviazuk, and Tracy Chapman. While she no longer tours, she continues to write and record in her Halifax home studio alongside her husBand and producer, Jason Mingo.
Beyond music, Meaghan is a painter and illustrator, creating intricate miniature paintings and running her stationery brand, M. Kind Papersmith, where she encourages meaningful connections through handwritten letters. When she’s not making music or art, you can often find her writing snail-mail letters to her patrons—slow, thoughtful exchanges in a world that sometimes moves too fast.
She has never learned to read music—but she feels it. And for her, that has always been enough.
