Meyer studied ethnomusicology and international relations at Pomona College in Los Angeles County, including Indian ragas, African drumming and Japanese gagaku (classical court music).

In Seattle, she has performed at The Pink Door, Dimitrio's Jazz Alley and Volunteer Park Amphitheater and in New York at the Rockwood Music Hall as well as the 92YTribeca with The Shanghai Restoration Project.

[1] In 2011, Meyer released her third album Suitcase of Stones, this time in English and described as a mix of "Jazz, blues and reggae-influenced original compositions" and produced by Grammy winning engineer S. Husky Höskulds (Norah Jones, Yael Naim).

She embarked on the tour despite trepidation after fans sent her messages concerned that artists were staying away from Japan following the March 11, 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

[5] In October 2011, Meyer performed two shows in Seattle, including at the Kizuna Benefit Concert to raise funds for victims of the Tōhoku earthquake via charity organization Peace Winds America.

In April 2012, Meyer's all-English[6] EP LOL was released internationally,[7] including "On the Road," recorded for a Toyota Prius commercial.

Songs from the album have been used in television shows including "Energy" for TV Land's Younger, "On the Road" for MTV's Awkward and "Doin’ Great" on the Brazilian telenovela, Sete Vidas.

In 2013 she toured as a vocalist with jazz pianist Éric Legnini throughout France including the Le Café de la Danse in Paris.

In 2019 Meyer performed at Big Feastival on Blur (band) member Alex James's farm in the Cotswolds, UK.

In 2022, Meyer produced J-Pop artist Crystal Kay’s EP “Start Again” (LDH (company)/Universal Music Group), from which all songs were used for the Amazon Japan TV series “A2Z”.
