Bio
Born in British Columbia, Canada, Meagan Devauld grew up with an insatiable love of music and an endearing curiosity. Her immersion started at an early age, with extensive training in classical and jazz, along with traditional composing, singing, and performing. Yet Meagan's foundations soon clashed with a passion for world music and a knack for innovation. While studying Saxophone in university, she traversed into a genre all her own, leaving behind traditional formulas and jazz standards. Although she was considered a pianist and saxophonist of high standards, she found the greatest level of satisfaction while writing and creating original songs, inventing new ways for harmonies and instruments to play off each other. Due to a brief stint playing piano with Victoria based Cuban music group "Son de Cuba", her natural affinity for latin music and her love for tumbao was discovered. She threw herself into an intense study of voice, latin music and language and emergeed with a catalogue of latin originals. Under the guise "Meagan Maria", she organized a 10 piece latin band for which she composed and arranged an expansive variety of compositions in Spanish, English and Portuguese in genres from latin infused swing to upbeat, sunny cha-cha, explosive timba and reggaeton. Her first CD, a five song latin original work, was recorded and produced by Jose Sanchez, an internationally acclaimed percussionist and producer from Cuba. The CD and the band generated a buzz in the local latin community and proved to the community that Meagan was a musical force to be reckoned with. Her first latin music single "Manojo de Arena" was promoted by Danie Cortese Entertainment and played on community and world music stations world-wide. The single received high acclaim from DJs and set the stage for potential international tours. Meagan has highlighted several shows, as well as performing at the the TD International Victoria Jazzfest in 2010, while playing with other local groups. Due to an ability to tour with her music at the moment, Meagan is continuing to play professionally with local groups while augmenting her catalogue of original music and starting her own multi-faceted music company. Meagan will be renewing her "Meagan Maria" project to include more upbeat latin- influenced dance and pop style tracks. She is still in love with traditional latin music, but would like to make people dance even just a little more….
