Born in Québec, Meb spent a long time studying music (Musicology Master, Université Laval) while having some fun doing creative writing on the side. From 1998 to 2003, she played in the electro-rock band Quai M83 (violin, composition) while composing songs that stayed mostly in her drawers. In 2000, she won the second place at the lyricist competitionChansons pour tes yeux (Montréal) and the first place as a composer at the Festival en Chanson de Petite-Vallée (Gaspésie). After an exile of two years in England (Liverpool) she decided to move to Montréal, where she spent some time performing as a spoken word artist. Many shows and publications later, she finally found the courage to perform her own songs, which, at last, left her drawers to end up on the Meb ep. In her spare time, Meb performs with her band, publishes her videos, collages and photos on her blog (www.chezmeb.com), writes lyrics for the band Under Electric Light and contributes to the video collective urler.tv. Dehors, her first LP will be launched at Ô Patro Vys, Montréal on October 13 2010 on the Lazy At Work label.
