About Me

Megan Bowman fuses roots, jazz and pop with raw love. Hailed as "sexy and intoxicating" (WLIB/WBLS Radio, NYC) and "one of Australia's best up and coming singer song writers" (Manchester Lane), Megan is working hard on home-soil and abroad.
Megan Bowman recently recorded songs for her debut album 'Wonderlust' in New York City with a bevy of incredible artists & co-producers, including the beautiful and brilliant Ian Love (myspace.com/ianlove), Andy Action (myspace.com/andyaction) and Chris Brown (chrisbrownmusic.com). The album is out now through Raw Love Records/MGM. In between, Megan has won best song in the Australian Music Week songwriting contest for Lavender Girl, received finalist nominations in two categories of the Australian Songwriters Association National Songwriting Contest, had her music aired on the top-ratings Australian TV show The Panel, and been invited to perform at various Australian festivals including this year's Bluesfest and the National Folk Convention.
Megan has also become intimately involved with North America. She has lived & performed in NYC and Montreal, performed a residency at Disneyworld with Indigenous Australian members of Descendance (voted Epcot Festival's most popular entertainment) and performed for elders of the Seminole American Indian tribe in Florida. Megan's music has also been aired on college radio in New York City and Montreal.
On the release of her debut album Megan comments: "I am not scared anymore".
Megan Bowman will support her record release with extensive touring in 2007 in Australia and overseas.
