Born and raised in the heart of ‘Ynys Mon’ (the Isle of Anglesey), singer-songwriter Meinir Gwilym has established herself as one of the best selling Welsh language artists ever. Her first release Smôcs, Coffi a Fodca Rhad (Cigarrettes, Coffee and Cheap Vodka) in 2002 met with phenomenal response with her unique voice and punchy lyrics, Celtic/acoustic/folk-rock/pop being hailed as one of the most original and inspired compilations to come out of Wales in years. The follow-up album Dim ond Clwydda (Nothing but Lies) sold thousands within the first few months of release in November 2003. Meinir Gwilym has appeared at all major festivals in Wales, and performs either with her multicultural band in larger venues or on her own, acoustically at small events. With her no-gimmicks image, she gets inspiration from everyday life, locally and worldwide and composes all her own songs. Meinir is endorsed by Yahama, has dueted with Bryn Terfel on her own album, sings folk, pop and country as they were meant to be heard, and has received numerous awards for her music and her songwriting. March 1st 2014 was another milestone in Meinir's career - seeing her perform at her first US festival and releasing her debut North American album. Celt, the 18 track album is available now.
