Reminiscent of the airy quality of early Grimes, Yaeji and SASSY009, London-based artist Merry’s music is a mesmerising fusion of late-night dancefloor beats and evocative and ethereal melodies. Her tracks are trilingual – transitioning effortlessly between three tongues, with each language revealing a different facet of her personality - calmness in English, directness in Cantonese and poetic nuances in Mandarin. First making her mark with debut album Genesis, an introspective exploration of eclectic ‘80s pop and throbbing house beats, her latest single showcases her evolution, drawing from her own experiences of personal growth during lockdown and exploring themes of identity, dislocation and belonging. Merry’s journey from a self-reliant, shy teenager and arts student in Toronto to creating her exuberant artistic persona is one of resilience and self-discovery, as she established her brand of eclectic electronic music in an appearance on the Chinese talent competition Rave Now in 2018. She takes wide and varying inspiration from the worlds of anime, J-pop and Avril Lavigne and Belle & Sebastian in crafting her unique and colourful identity. Her captivating visual identity and unique fashion sense (as seen on her vibrant Instagram feed), has led to renowned fashion houses including Gucci, Moschino, Chanel and Acne Studios tapping her for campaigns and collaborations.
