Merideth first came to the attention of the world when a friend recorded her singing Adele&#8217;s, &#8216;Rolling In The Deep&#8217;, in her kitchen, which was then uploaded to YouTube. The cover went viral, gaining over 20 million hits. Merideth said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI was shocked! I was expecting maybe 100 people to hear me sing; we went to sleep that night and it was already at 11,000 views. It was amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video caught the attention of a member of her Church, who alerted a friend in Nashville &#8211; none other than Grammy Award-winning producer and writer, Aaron Pearce, known for his work with Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, and Jennifer Lopez, to name just a few. Merideth flew with her parents to meet Aaron, who not only wanted to work with her, but also introduced her to Global Entertainment Management&#8217;s Jerry Blair. Blair soon became her manager.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Merideth continues to fly, having earned herself a spot over the summer on Germany&#8217;s &#8216;Superkids&#8217; TV show. Following this she headed for Hollywood, where she shot the video for her new track, &#8216;Perfect World&#8217;, with scenes on Hollywood Boulevard&#8217;s famous Walk of Fame, and Santa Monica Pier.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Merideth continues to develop her talent, combining it with a strong teen following on social media. She says,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt\u2019s really cool. I like to write back to the people who comment on what I post, and I try to put up a new video on YouTube every few weeks.
