Meklit Hadero
Ethiopian-born singer/songwriter Meklit Hadero is a jazz, folk, and soul-influenced artist who sings in English and Amharic. Born in Addis Ababa, Hadero fled with her doctor parents to the United States in hopes of escaping the years of violence that followed Ethiopia's 1974 revolution. Raised in Iowa and Brooklyn, Hadero sang in choirs growing up and was introduced to the music of jazz vocalist Billie Holiday as an adolescent. Although she earned a degree in political science from Yale, Hadero continued to sing and eventually settled into the vibrant arts scene in San Francisco, where she took vocal and guitar lessons. Finding a home at the local Red Poppy Art House, Hadero began to perform and develop her own sound, and teamed up with likeminded guitarist Todd Brown in the jazz, roots, and African music-influenced band Nefasha Ayer. Hadero released her debut solo album, On a Day Like This..., in 2010. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
