概述
出生於美國北卡羅來納州的Meredith，六歲就開始學唱歌。Meredith的聲音就像從天堂飄來的，
輕盈而甜美的聲線，柔柔的，聽著很舒服。閉上眼睛，靜靜聆聽，仿佛置身於夢境。
meredithandrews梅雷迪斯安德魯斯
是一個當代基督教音樂CCM（一種西方流行音樂，其風格抒情，內容多有關基督教信仰，並融合鄉村音樂、pop、rock...）藝術家和引領者。
早年
梅雷迪斯成長在北卡羅來納州的威爾遜。她在那裡開始歌唱時，年僅六歲。然後她學會彈鋼琴，並開始自己寫歌。梅雷迪斯畢業於威爾遜基督教學院，她在高中時就在教堂主持禮拜。後來她又考入了維吉尼亞州的自由大學。她當時主修家庭與子女關係，甚至一度打算畢業後在孤兒院工作。因為雖然她是個獨生子，但她的父母領養過三個孩子。人生哲學
梅雷迪斯安德魯斯看到，音樂可以對人們的生活產生影響。但這不是她的目的，她想分享。“我從未想過寫歌僅是寫歌。我總是希望它們作為媒介來傳達上帝對人們的愛，無論他們是否追隨上帝。我認為最好的辦法就是通過上帝的聖言。我一直希望我的歌曲能與上帝的話融合，因為如果僅是我說的話，它會是無效的。要問我有什麼能告訴人們的，從而改變他們的生活？沒有！但是，如果來自於上帝，那就是能改變他們的。”
