SINGER/SONGWRITER, MUSICIAN, PRODUCER
Meryl Rudy is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter, musician, and producer. At eight-years-old, Meryl began her musical journey by taking classical piano lessons alongside her father. Two years later, Meryl discovered her true passion. She picked up a guitar to write a song. She has since written over four hundred tunes. Some of her biggest influences are the Madison Cunningham, Theo Katzman, Ed Sheeran, David Wimbish & The Collection, The Beatles, and of course, Taylor Swift.
Meryl graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor of Music degree in Songwriting. She has performed in venues across the country in her duo Two Birds, alongside her five-piece band, and solo.

In addition to creating music, Meryl is also passionate about music education, giving others a way to express themselves through music. She teaches private guitar and piano lessons to students aging from 4 to 70 years old. Meryl also has experience as a song leader— guiding and teaching prayers through music—at her hometown synagogue in the Chicago area and synagogues in Boston. Meryl even co-wrote a nationwide-known version of the Sh’ma prayer called Sh’ma (You Shall Love) with her friends, Sam and Zach Powers. This version is sung at Jewish summer camps and synagogues across the country.
Meryl has released a series of Featuring EPs, including her song, I'd Run to the Moon, with nearly a million streams on Spotify. These Featuring EPs are collections of Meryl’s original music featuring different artists and musicians to highlight the various voices and genres for which she loves to write. Not only did she “cast” (as Meryl likes to call it) the artists for the project, but also she produced and arranged the songs, recorded demos, organized rehearsals and recording sessions, performed acoustic guitar, various instruments, and occasionally background vocals on all of the tunes. Collaboration with other artists, musicians, and creators has always been a meaningful part of Meryl's musical journey.
