Personal history
Born and raised in Redondo Beach, California, Mahowald has been singing and writing music since she was eight years old.[5] She attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA),[6] where she starred in musical performances such as Les Misérables and Annie.[7]
Upon graduating from high school, Mahowald was accepted to the Popular Music Program at the USC Thornton School of Music. While attending USC, MEGG has performed at numerous school concerts and events.[8]
Musical career
From 2006 - 2008, Mahowald was a member of the popular all-girl pop act Runway MMC. The group, which also featured Chelsea Tavares and Melody Hernandez, released their EP "Forever Yours" on iTunes in October 2008, as well as a corresponding clothing line which was sold by Wet Seal.[9]
After leaving Runway MMC, Mahowald founded her new band MEGG, a pop-rock act based in Los Angeles, California. MEGG has recorded two EPs to date, the first of which is titled simply "The EP" and was released on October 31, 2010.[10] The EP's first single, "Break Up With Her", was released as a free download on the band's website, and the music video premiered on December 1, 2010.[11]
Mahowald is currently finishing production on MEGG's second EP.
On September 22, 2014, she appeared in the first episode of season 7 of the American music competition series The Voice auditioning with "Celebrity Skin" from Hole, but was eliminated with none of the judges turning their chairs for her during her "blind audition".
