About

Meri Ziev (she, her), Vocalist

Ocean Ridge, FL (Palm Beach County)

Meri Ziev’s love of art and music began as a child in Pearl River, N.Y. Her father was an artist and the first in the neighborhood to have an 8-track player in his Buick Riviera. Meri began singing in the car to Barbra Streisand & Frank Sinatra music, listening to the Big Bands on the radio, and enjoying show tunes on the living room console.  Her love of classic rock springs from going to her brother's rock band rehearsals!  She was a flute-playing "band nerd" in middle school and high school.  Her most recent loves are jazz jams & piano lessons.  

After garnering multiple Broadway World Cabaret Award nominations, she was featured in this BWW article (Thank you, Stephen Mosher!):
