When Meesha signed with Wylde Chylde Records on March 15th, 2025, it wasn’t just about releasing epic new music. It was also about making a statement to the Machine by reclaiming her voice—not just in lyrics, but in image, identity, and intention.
Now, in a candid interview, the rising indie-pop artist speaks out about the stark differences she sees between the empowering creative space she’s found at Wylde Chylde Records and the increasingly exploitative image machine operated by major record labels—what she calls the “vile circus of Big Records.”
“I’ve watched too many talented women get spit out by the industry just because they refused to play along with the strip-tease marketing formula,” Meesha says. “And it’s not just new artists—it’s huge, well-established stars too. Women who’ve already proven themselves are still being paraded out half-naked like show ponies, expected to writhe and perform for clicks. It’s disheartening. They start out as artists—and end up on stage performing like dancers in a Vegas showroom, barely dressed, grinding to choreography that has nothing to do with their music and everything to do with male fantasy. And why? Because sex sells. Because the execs behind Big Records have figured out that the fastest way to boost engagement is to turn women into clickable content. It’s not art—it’s exploitation dressed up in rhinestones, all for the sake of profits.”
A Cultural Shift—But in the Wrong Direction
The sexualization of female artists isn’t new. But Meesha believes the modern music industry has taken things to a more disturbing extreme, especially for artists signed to major labels.
“When I see 19-year-old girls in thongs and thigh-high boots being told to arch their backs and lick their lips on stage, I don’t see empowerment,” she explains. “I see conditioning. I see marketing teams exploiting female bodies to keep engagement numbers high. And I see young fans learning all the wrong lessons about where their worth comes from.”
It’s not just about skimpy outfits or provocative dance moves—it’s the underlying message. According to Meesha, Big Records is training an entire generation of girls to believe that sexy sells, and your music comes second.
“Girls are watching. Little girls. Teenagers. And they’re being taught that the shortcut to success is to objectify yourself. That if you want to matter, you’d better strip down, strike a pose, and keep your mouth shut unless it’s to sing.”
Walking a Different Road
Meesha has deliberately chosen a different path. At Wylde Chylde Records, she says, the focus is on authenticity, storytelling, and substance—not shock value.
“Wylde Chylde doesn’t ask me to flash skin—we write about real life and real stories that mean something,” Meesha says. “I’m not here to churn out some forgettable, polished-up AI slop. That stuff has no redeeming qualities—it’s empty. It might trend for a second, but it won’t stand the test of time—and we’re not in this to fade away. They care about the lyrics we write, the emotions and the energy behind the music. That’s why I’m here. I’m not a product—I’m a voice for something real.”
Her debut music video, Never Lose Hope, is powerful without being provocative. No sex scenes. No slow-motion hip rolls. Just raw emotion, rich storytelling, and honest artistry.
“I want my fans to hear me, not ogle me,” Meesha states plainly. “I want to be a mirror for their strength—not a billboard for sex appeal.”
What This Means for Young Women
Meesha is deeply aware of her influence. With every song and every video, she’s sending an alternative message: You don’t have to conform to be seen. You don’t have to undress to be heard.
“I’m not shaming other women. But I am calling out the system that keeps pushing this one-dimensional narrative of what a ‘successful’ female artist looks like,” she says. “If you’re an artist, you should have the freedom to choose to present yourself in an authentic way. But let’s be honest—at Big Records, that choice is an illusion. They make it look like freedom, but it’s really a leash adorned with rhinestones.”
The Future Meesha Envisions
Meesha is currently working on her third video with Wylde Chylde Records, titled “Where Do I Belong?” The video promises another emotionally driven narrative grounded in truth and integrity—this time exploring the quiet, aching question so many young women carry: Why don’t I feel like I fit anywhere?
“A lot of girls are walking around with this invisible weight on their shoulders,” Meesha says. “They feel out of place, like there’s no space where they truly belong—not at school, not online, sometimes not even in their own skin. I wanted to write something for them. Something that says: You’re not alone in feeling that way. And you’re not broken.”
And to her fans?
“If you’re feeling pressure to look or act a certain way just to be accepted—don’t fold. You’re not alone. You’re not crazy. You’re not wrong for wanting more than being seen as ‘hot.’ You’re right. And I’m standing with you.”
Wylde Chylde Records stands with Meesha. We stand with women. And we stand for a music industry that uplifts art—not algorithms.
