"A talented artist displaying emotional and dramatic integrity."

Stefan Janski, Director (UK) 

From Opera to Pop, Jazz, Latin, Dance and Music Theatre styles, Meera is a truly eclectic and versatile performer.

She has performed (solo) at the Royal Albert Hall, the Glastonbury Festival, aboard the world-famous QE2 ocean liner, Sydney's City Recital Hall and on television and in theatre as an opera and cabaret artist and as an actress.

Her hommage to Karen Carpenter - 'Close To You: A Salute To Karen Carpenter' - made a stunning debut in the Sydney Fringe Festival and went on to pack out the City Recital Hall in 2014. Her latest venture with partner-in-crime Ruth McCance is "Blossoming - The Life and Music of Cult Chantuese Blossom Dearie" which sold out at Sydney's Foundry 616 Jazz Club earlier this year and will be returning to admiring audiences in 2017.

Meera currently directs the unique vintage vocal trio, The Starr Sisters:

In 2014, The Starr Sisters made a smashing debut with The George Guaranian Big Band in Russia (Sochi, Tzar International Jazz Festival) and this year (2016) began a new collaboration with The Regent Street Big Band (17-piece swing orchestra, Sydney) to bring to life their popular Andrews Sisters Tribute.

Meera's recordings include World Premiere works with the world-famous Black Dyke Brass Band and Force Four Productions (dance/techno). 

Currently she can be heard with The John Hardaker Direction, The Starr Sisters (with The Regent St. Big Band) and in various other incarnations about town!

Meera is well-respected and sought-after vocal coach, singing teacher and performance coach. She directs The Fabulous Jazz Babies Community Ensemble as part of her Teaching Year at the Bella Musica Singing Studio (299 Kent Street, Sydney City, ph: 0406 512 162).

Meera also teaches at home by appointment in the Hawkesbury Valley.
