transporting you into a new world – fusing
Megan’s 70’s rock influence with hip-hop, soul,
pop, and funk – the track defies all expectations.
A true testament to versatility, Megan uses her
voice to express her own experience of
neurodivergence and navigating a world where
she will never be able to please everyone.
