Oscar 2024

Meiwei is the solo project of indie-folk singer/songwriter Michelle Mouw. Born and raised in Beijing, Michelle moved to the U.S. at the age of eighteen. Meiwei is an evolving attempt at piecing the fragments of Michelle’s life together - past with the present, American with Chinese, the city with the wilderness. Her deeply felt lyrics and fingerpicked guitar bring to mind forward-thinking folk artists such as Adrienne Lenker, Laura Marling, and Haley Heynderickx. Meiwei’s debut release, Unusual Spring was recorded and released from her Boston apartment in May of 2020. The song was featured on Sound of Boston’s Local Mix and WGHB’s Mass Mix. Since then, Meiwei has moved out west, released a self-titled debut EP, and a single Hummingbird Pt. 1, Pt. 2.
