Broken Arrow, Oklahoma native Megan Sheehan began singing and performing at age 10. She performed on the Texas and Oklahoma Opry circuits for many years. Throughout her high school career, Megan performed for businesses, annual community events, and college and professional level sporting events. At age 14, Megan received an opportunity to be the concert opener for Patty Loveless. Megan has also represented Oklahoma and the southwest region on a national level in country music singing competitions. These competitions gave her the opportunity to perform in many cities throughout the United States.
After graduating from Broken Arrow High School, Megan moved to Nashville in 1999 to attend Belmont University. During her freshman year, Megan recorded an independent album entitled Hey Good Lookin’: The Songs of Hank Williams, Sr., which was well received throughout the United States and Europe. That same year, Megan was crowned Miss Broken Arrow through the Miss America Organization and represented her home town in the Miss Oklahoma Pageant.
In 2001, Megan was one of four students chosen to perform in Belmont’s coveted Country Showcase, where students are given the opportunity to perform in front of their peers and the community.
Megan graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Business from Belmont University’s Mike Curb College of Music Business and Entertainment. After graduating, Megan opted to stay in Nashville to pursue a country music career. She signed a publishing deal with a songwriting company to further her writing skills and also worked at a Nashville music hot spot, Judge Bean’s BBQ, where singers and songwriters showcase. She was discovered by renowned record producer, James Stroud, while singing there. In January of 2008 Stroud announced he would be opening Stroudavarious Records and signed Megan soon after. She is looking forward to recording her debut album this year.
