Meritxell (pronounced “Mary-chell”) is a prodigious musical talent. The beautiful entertainer is both a skillful songwriter and vocalist with a culturally enriched, diverse musical background.

In late 2008, Meritxell's eclectic style helped extend her musical journey into an exciting venture with Internationally-known R&B group, Peaches and Herb. Besides earning the title of the “first-ever non-black Peaches", she became the third recording artist in the past 20 years to co-record a Peaches and Herb album. “Because of her versatile, soulful background, Meritxell is exceptionally worthy of the Peaches crown", exclaims Herb Feemster, co-founder/singer of Peaches and Herb. The artist’s sultry signature can be found artfully permeating Peaches & Herb's latest CD, The Colors of Love (Imagen Records).

Since age six in her native Barcelona, Spain, Meritxell sang in various school performances and talent shows. Her professional singing career began at age 17. Simultaneously gifted as an alto and soprano, her smooth, sultry style was inspired by Donnie of Hathaway, Chaka Khan, and Stevie Wonder, amongst other renowned musical influences. At age 23, she became the lead singer of Club Sutton’s orchestra in Barcelona, Spain. After extensive live performances, she auditioned for and became a second place winner in the hit TV show, El Trampolin, Spain’s equivalent of Star Search. Seeking to expand her artistic craft, she later embarked on a path to Nashville, Tennessee, where she collaborated with numerous music industry writers and vocalists.  

Meritxell currently resides in Maryland near Washington D.C. After many years of involvement with local talented writers and musicians, her musical style has ascended to an unprecedented level. In 1996, she signed a Publishing and Production contract with EMI Publishing Inc. This great opportunity allowed her to co-write various songs and enhance her skills in songwriting and music recording and producing.

In 2004 Meritxell recorded the album, THE MERITXELL PROJECT/EL PROYECTO MERITXELL. The rich, sophisticated sound of the classy CD emerges from a fledging relationship with bassist/producer Gary Grainger.
