Lily Meola was born and raised on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Her love of music blossomed in the passenger seat of her Mom’s car listening to legendary artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell, and Carole King. Lily began performing around Maui in local bars and cafes at the young age of 11. Mentored by super-producer Bob Rock, Lily toured with the likes of Willie Nelson, learned to write songs with Jackson Browne, recorded duets with Steven Tyler, Kris Kristofferson, and Sammy Hagar, and co-wrote a single for Andra Day titled ‘Amen.’ In a reimagined version of Lily Meola’s impactful 2021 single “Daydream,” a bright piano melody lifts Lily’s lyrics through an uphill climb. Listeners experience not just a song, but a sea of emotions in the powerful build before a climatic second chorus. “I felt the need to write a song that wasn’t about love or heartbreak, I wanted something meaningful and inspiring…something that would encourage other young people to listen to their heart,” Lily shares. “I feel like I wrote this song for my future self, to re-inspire me to never quit my daydream,” Lily adds. Lily’s poetic poignancy and beautifully crafted arrangement come together to create a timeless ode to following one’s dreams.
