The series has proven that there’s a huge interest in Megan’s still-growing music career. Her original song and new single ‘This’ has far peaked at #2 on the main iTunes chart and is one of three tracks that Megan currently has in the iTunes Top 30.
We interviewed Megan last year where she talked about just how personal the album as to her. With ‘Story of Me’, Megan honed a captivating country sound powered by insistent pop melodies. The album also highlights her ability as a songwriter. Inspired by the likes of Carrie Underwood, the album spans the rollercoaster of emotions that make country music such an emotive experience. It’s at turns uplifting, honest and heart-breaking.
