ABOUT MEKA

 

Meka Shane is a proud native of Tuscumbia, Alabama, who has worked in radio off and on since the age of seventeen, when her first radio gig was as the news announcer for a local country station. Born with a passion for words, Meka is also a writer and poet.

Her favorite poet is Nikki Giovanni. Her free time is spent working on a debut poetry collection. Her Uncle Oscar instilled her with a love of music, especially tunes from the ‘70s era. He educated her about acts like Shalamar, Switch, and Michael Jackson. That love for Disco came in handy during her time as the girl singer in a band of boys that toured all over Southeast and opened for acts like The Dave Matthews Band and REO Speedwagon.

Meka is a self-admitted obnoxious Bama alum and loved her time in Tuscaloosa so much that she’d relive it all over again if she could. An interesting bit of trivia about Meka Shane is that her junior prom date’s father co-wrote “When a Man Loves a Woman,” Calvin Lewis.
