rebelvision/ Island Def Jam 2006 summer release Megan Rochell
You, Me & The Radio Ever since emerging songstress Megan Rochell first soloed in the choir loft of Christ Fellowship Baptist Church at age seven, the recently signed Def Jam artist knew she wanted to be a star. With the release of her dazzling debut disc You, Me & the Radio more than a decade after that memorable Sunday morning, Megan Rochell's youthful prophesies have come true. Dubbing her stellar collection of songs "a diary into a young woman's mind," the twenty year old Brooklyn native has no problems sharing her joy. Coming on strong with her first single " The One U Need ," produced by rhythmic veteran Rodney Jerkins and featuring Fabolous. Born in Brooklyn to a Black mother and a Puerto Rican father, Megan was raised by her loving grandmother, whom she also credits for her success. Besides making sure little Megan was in church every Sunday, grand-ma also escorted Megan to her first audition at the legendary Apollo Theatre. Performing the Monica song " Before You Walked Out of My Life " for millions. Moving to Philadelphia at eighteen, Megan Rochell's professional life behind the mic began with a series of chance encounters. Meeting the son of soul icon Leon Huff (of Gamble & Huff fame), Megan was soon in the studios of Philadelphia International Records, where she wrote songs and recorded demos. One afternoon, after leaving the studio, she met Boyz II Men member, Nathan Morris, while walking down South Street. After working with Nathan for several months Megan signed with his management company, "Adlib Entertainment." Two weeks later, Nathan set-up a meeting between Megan and Antonio "L.A." Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group, the young songbird knew she had made the right choice. Yet, after buying a new outfit and getting her hair done, Megan Rochell went to L.A.'s office one rainy afternoon in January 2005, and won him over with a rendition of Alicia Keys's " If I Ain't Got You ." After that successful audition, her fate at Def Jam was sealed. From the frenzied soul of the Cornerboys' " Outta My Mind " to chill-out cool of Stargate's smooth " Bet You Didn't Know ," it's obvious that Megan Rochell is more than just another pretty face in a video. Indeed, You, Me & the Radio is just the beginning of a wonderful relationship between a talented singer and her adoring audience.
