Mereba is a multifaceted artist whose craft spans across an eclectic mix of soulful folk, hip-hop, and R&B. Born Marian Mereba on May 19, 1990, in Pennsylvania, and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina, she has Ethiopian and Eritrean roots that add to the rich tapestry of her music. Mereba's distinct sound is characterized by her velvety vocals and introspective lyricism, paired with a blend of organic instrumentation and subtle electronic production.

Her journey into the music industry was marked by the release of her EP "Room for Living" in 2013, but it wasn't until her 2019 debut album, "The Jungle Is The Only Way Out," that she truly established her presence. This project showcased Mereba's talent as both a singer and a rapper, including standout tracks like "Black Truck" and "Sandstorm" featuring JID. As an independent artist, she has also effectively collaborated with a range of artists, contributing her soul-stirring voice to tracks like "Yo Love" from the "Queen & Slim" soundtrack and "Heatwave (Acoustic)" featuring 6LACK. Mereba’s work is an invitation into her world, where reflective storytelling and genre-defiance are the norm, a trait further highlighted by her 2021 EP "AZEB." Her artistry continues to evolve, with recent releases like "Rider" perpetuating her rise as a musician who thrives on authenticity and emotional connectivity.
