Megan Black (Instagram @meganblackmusic)
If you mix ‘70s blues rock with queer feminist pop, you get none other than Scotland’s very own Megan Black. After being tipped as one of the top artists to watch in 2023, Megan has gone on to win awards in L.A. and San Francisco, as well as being crowned ‘one of the finest singer-songwriters working in Britain today’. With a focus on themes such as feminism, mental health, the LGBTQ+ community, and addiction, Megan is creating an inclusive and diverse space through her music. Join her, will you?

Megan shared with us what it means to her personally to be an indie music woman artist:
“Being a woman in music has allowed me to join communities, feel empowered and supported, and grow as an artist. However, it equally comes with a lot of misogyny, feeling disregarded, and feeling like I have to prove myself 10 times more than cis, white, male artists.
As difficult as this can be, I feel thankful to all of the people who supports me: be that fans, fellow artists, promoters, producers etc. I feel proud to be a strong queer woman making the music I make, and I want to be part of making positive change to create more opportunities for everyone – baby steps, but we’re getting there!”
You can hear Megan’s single, “Sweet Bi-Sexual – Reimagined”, on our Spotify playlist, Essential Indie Music Women.
