Megan Kashat

 

Iraqi pop and electronic singing sensation Megan Kashat is not only singing her way to stardom but also painting her way as well. Megan is a dedicated artist that expresses her creativity through song, dance, writing and painting. The Detroit native found solace through her creativity at a young age, and had her first break when she danced for Mariah Carey at the tender age of 16.

 

Megan’s dancing abilities lead her to working with artists dancing in front of thousands with the Goo Goo Dolls, Jesse McCartney, Big Sean, Christina Aguilera, T.I., Charlie Wilson, and even dancing on stage at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Megan has toured the US, Brazil and spent some time living in Ibiza working for DJ Steve Aoki while analyzing the world of electronic music.

 

After traveling to compete for the World Cup of Dance in 2008, Kashat then trained at the Broadway Dance Center in New York City, where she pursued the arts and honed in on her craft. During the time she spent in the city, she discovered she possessed another skill, painting. She traveled around the US continuing her studies in the arts including songwriting and music production.

 

Megan has innovatively incorporated her artistry in her performing by painting live on stage and dancing during her musical performance. She recently launched Paintings By Masha, which is a collection of her abstract paintings, some of which were done during her live performances. Her commitment to her artistry and unprecedented fusion of artistic abilities has lead her to work on her latest EP titled, A Dirty Deed For Fame, scheduled to release this summer.
