The Canadian-native caught U.S. attention when she won the season premiere of NBC’s Songland season two – during which her song “Champagne Night” was chosen by 7-time GRAMMY® Award-winning group Lady A, who recorded and released the song digitally and to country radio. “Champagne Night” is currently at #26 and #27 on the Media Base and Billboard Country Airplay charts.
As an artist, Merlo’s cool, coastal sound – a reflection of her Vancouver upbringing – bridges the perfect pop-country gap. After a series of successful single releases in Canada – including debut “Sinking Like A Stone,” “War Paint,” “Whatcha Wanna Do About It,” “Neon Love,” and her most recent Canadian country radio Top 10 “Dear Me” – Merlo released a trio of tunes, including “It Didn’t,” “If You Never Broke My Heart,” and “Kiss Kiss.” “Kiss Kiss” is currently #21 on the Canadian country radio Media Base charts, and recently hit #2 on the Radio Disney Country chart.
