Born in Chicago and rooted in Jamaica and Los Angeles, Meezy Neva Give carries a story shaped by culture, music, and faith. Though born in the United States, he grew up in Kingston, Jamaica, where music was not just entertainment but a way of life. His father was a well-known reggae artist at the time, and much of Meezy’s childhood was spent inside recording studios, watching sessions unfold and learning the rhythm of the craft from up close.
Being around that environment left a lasting imprint. He saw firsthand the discipline, creativity, and presence it takes to create timeless music. But despite those early influences, Meezy didn’t begin making music himself until the age of 27. When he finally stepped into it, it was intentional.
Growing up, his playlist was diverse. He studied artists like Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, and Michael Jackson. From lyricism and storytelling to performance and charisma, each of them helped shape how he views music today.
Meezy describes his sound as “serious fun.” There is intention behind his words, but he also understands the importance of energy and enjoyment. That balance defines his approach. Most of his music has been recorded in various studios throughout Los Angeles, where he continued developing his voice and refining his craft.
Outside of music, he spent much of his time growing up at the basketball gym, at The Bridge, Fox Hills Mall, and The Debbie Allen Center. Those places became part of his everyday life and community, shaping him just as much as the studio sessions did.
His most recent release, “3 Kings,” featuring David Kamara and 808 PUSH, represents his continued growth as an artist. With another single, “Miss Elite,” set to drop soon, Meezy is focused on building momentum and expanding his reach.
Through it all, he gives thanks to God and to his parents for their guidance and foundation. And above everything, he stands on the mindset that defines his name—Neva Give
