Lily Meola

Hawaii native Lily Meola writes lyrical folk-pop songs that are as gutsy as they are poignant. The unique musical environment on the island of Maui led her to work with several of its star residents, and by the early part of the 2020s, she'd released a series of well-crafted singles including the buoyant "Daydream." Her debut EP of the same name appeared in 2022. She took part in all-star collaboration benefitting victims of the Maui wildfires in 2023 and followed it with 2024's Heartbreak Rodeo. Meola's third EP, 2025's Postcards to Heaven, was dedicated to her mother. She delivered her debut album, Lucky to Be, in 2026.
