At the age of 18, he switched to the electric bass and - after completing his studies in computer science and physics - started working as a professional musician in 1989.
Together with the Nyckelharpa player Johan Hedin and the percussionist Fredrik Gille he co-founded the Swedish trio Bazar Blå in Sweden in 1996.
Since 2008 Meyer works with Anouar Brahem (The Astounding Eyes of Rita - 2009, Souvenance - 2014) and was for more than a decade - from the beginning until 2012 - also a member of the ritual groove collective of Nik Bärtsch's RONIN and helped shape the term Zen Funk.
In 2014 a long time collaboration with Mats Eser and Ania Losinger — with her self invented instrument Xala — resulted in the formation of NEN also featuring drummer Chrigel Bosshard.
Meyer also works regularly with the Swiss composer and reed player Don Li and is an occasional guest lecturer at the conservatories in Stockholm, Zurich, Bern, Lucerne and Lausanne.
