The Music
About
"I grew up on my grandmother's Roberta Flack records and my brother's beat tapes. Somewhere in between is where I live."
Ivy Meridian is a Boston-based vocalist and songwriter blending classic soul warmth with modern jazz harmony. A student at Berklee College of Music, she cut her teeth in the city's late-night jam circuit before releasing her debut EP, Velvet Hours, in early 2026.
Backed by a five-piece band of fellow Berklee players, her live sets move from hushed, confessional ballads to full-horn-section grooves — earning her opening slots at rooms across Boston and Cambridge and a reputation as one of the city's most magnetic young performers.
She is currently writing her first full-length record and booking dates for the 2026–27 season.
