Mereki's debut solo single "Blue Lake" was released in 2014.^[13] Mereki released a few singles that landed her music in a Victoria's Secret commercial. In 2017, Mereki released her EP Beach. The songs on Beach have Mereki's signature style, a distinctly pop-feel with positive messaging, while tracks like "Spiritual", "French Kissing" and "Got It All" also hold an ethereal, dreamy quality.^[14][15]

She made her live solo UK debut at the Glastonbury Festival 2022^[16] and followed this up with another performance at the festival in 2023.^[17]

In 2016 Mereki created Mereki's Clubhouse, a pop-up event platform with a focus on kindness and creating spaces to give a voice to up-and-coming female artists. The Clubhouse motto "Be Kind" grew into a non-profit organisation of the same name,^[19] which then held an annual Holiday Benefit Concert – the last event selling out the legendary Troubadour in 2019. Past participants include Sharon Van Etten, John C. Reilly, and Jim James.^[20]
