Megan Paige is a girl on a mission. She's determined to prove that the female powerhouse voice isn’t just for divas, and aggressive music and lyrics don't require gothic dresses and a lot of black make-up. Instead the girl next door is kicking in our doors and telling us like it is.

A singer/songwriter since childhood, Megan Paige began her public vocal performances in 2004 with the Boston acappella group The Downbeats. This granted her the opportunity to fine tune her ear and stage performance, before she moved back to her home in New Jersey in 2007 to get down to business and record her original compositions.

With her heart set on getting the right sound and style for her demo, Megan chose to be produced at the notoriously alternative rock shop, Moonskull Studios in Paramus, NJ. What do you get when you mix the clever mind of a female alternative pop singer with "out of the box" rock production? You get a demo that rivals Fiona Apple in eeriness, threatens Amy Lee's (Evanescence) big dark melodies, and sits next to Amy Winehouse as lyrically potent and refreshingly original.

Her self-titled demo is available now at www.myspace.com/meganpaigemusic. Refer to this site for photos, show listings and updates.
