[INTERVIEW] Getting Candid with meija
Description
We’re getting candid in our interview with meija.
meija, aka Jamie Sierota, grew up performing in the family band Echosmith. He left the band at 20 years old to start a family and be a songwriter and producer. After some time away from the spotlight, he started his own artist project – meija. His sophomore album There’s Always Something comes out October 11th, featuring collabs from JAWNY, Hand Habits and EELS.
We talk to Jamie Sierota about how he dealt with the overnight success of being in Echosmith as a teenager, why he had to take time away from the spotlight to find his own voice as a musician, and how he is processing his own emotions and past experiences through the making of his sophomore album.
