Merideth Grace Puckett Interview

Merideth Grace Puckett is going to be a name you get very familiar with as she starts on her career. She has the voice, the contacts and the look to achieve all of the goals she has for herself. BSCKids got the opportunity to talk to Merideth on a bunch of topics.

Having already garnered praise from media outlets across the country, performing the world over on Germany’s “Superkids” TV show this past July, and continuing to gain massive exposure with her larger than life talent- young star Merideth Grace Puckett is winning over fans across the globe! The Paris, TX native’s soulful vocals transport a listener to another world, so it’s no surprise that top producers and managers are clamoring to work with her. When a friend recorded Meredith singing Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” in the kitchen, she wasn’t expecting to gain over 20-million views. “I was shocked! I was expecting maybe 100 people to hear me sing; we went to sleep that night and it was already at 11,000 views. It was amazing!”. The viral video caught the eye of someone in Merideth’s church who reached out to a guy in Nashville. That ‘guy’ was Grammy-Award winning producer/writer Aaron Pearce, who has worked with Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Boys II Men, Jill Scott, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin and Willie Nelson, just to name a few.

Merideth Puckett:BSCKids

You were first recognized when you received 20 million views for your cover of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.” What was that like?

It was honestly pretty unexpected. I was just the plain old Merideth that liked to sing but when that video went viral it was amazing. I was so elated and excited about this.

What do you like to listen to for inspiration?

I try to pull in inspiration from every type of musical style, so on my playlists you might find such artists as Beyonce, Etta James, Alessia Cara, Aretha Franklin, Drake, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna

If you could perform with any musician, who would it be and why?

Alicia Keys, because I feel as if my style of music mirrors some of her music

It was SO amazing! I’ve never experienced something like that and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Have you had any fan interactions that have really stood out?

Yes! Sometimes when I’m walking down the street, random people will ask me “ Aren’t you the girl who sang Adele’s song? You were so amazing” and they would act starstruck. Interactions with my fans make me feel amazing and i have so many people encouraging me over social media

If you could meet any celebrity, who would it be and why?

Probably Adele because if it wasn’t for the inspiration she gave me through her music i would not be here today
