Me'sha Bryan hails from Wolverhampton in The West Midlands. She started singing professionally at the age of 16 and since then has performed in a variety of musical contexts. From theatre (Ragtime in The West End, The Little Shop of Horrors at The West Yorkshire Playhouse...) to session work (Bryan Ferry, Roxy Music, Beverley Knight, Russell Watson, Heaven 17, The Counterfeit Stones, The Australian Pink Floyd Show, residency at Stanley House Studios recording demos for the likes of Kylie and Victoria Beckham...), she's already had an eclectic career.
More recently, Me'sha has taken to songwriting. Following two successful hour long acoustic sets on BBC West Midlands' Ben Turner show, she formed "the band of doom", comprising Me'sha on vocals and acoustic guitar, producer/arranger, Alan Mian on all manner of basses, David Birnie aka "Captain Guitar" aka "Strat Dave" on electric guitar and James "Oz" Oscroft on drums. A recent line-up change has seen new drummer, Darren H. Ashford join the band. Watch this space or visit the website for upcoming news and gigs around London.

Wow you wrote a song already with those chords! Mmmwah! I hope it's about a thief being run over by a steam roller as he ran out of your flat. People can be so cruel, especially when you are so sweet to everyone. Long may they rot in Bat dung. Anyway i'm still sorting out your lesson notes to leave in your pigeon hole at school. I look forward to the song. Keep safe and if you ever need a guitar for gigs. Call me! Ma x
Hi Princess! Sorry to hear you were burgled. Thank goodness you didn't lose your guitar. I hope they reap their karma and get a nasty rash in that won't go away. Take care. ma x

I promise I'll be around for a guitar lesson on a Monday soooon. There's nothing wrong with putting Fmaj7 in your songs by the way. Don't feel guilty. After some therapy I'm sure we can introduce some altered dominants. I suggest one every 4 hours with water and I'll book you in for a check up. Keep smiling, you always make me feel happy when i see you, you're such a sweetie! Take care, Ma x
