Judge

Meaghan Richardson

A lifelong pianist and vocalist, Meaghan’s musical roots began growing in the music ministry world at a very young age. Through prayerful ministry she found deep purpose and drive, but quickly expanded to include a passion in the sounds of reggae, funk, soul, bluegrass and folk, as well as strengths in the recording arts. An extremely versatile vocalist with an angelic, soulful, and rich tone and a wide range, it’s a sound that truly captivates. Dabbling in numerous bands and projects over the past decade, she has found herself reflecting on the legacy she wants to leave, and the musical mark she has always intended to make on the world. Her solo and teaching career, as well as being a mother to two boys fills her heart. She is excited to be a part of this event!
