Meri Tadić (born 15 August 1982) is a Swiss-Croatian violinist, singer and songwriter. She is mostly known as the former fiddle-player of folk metal band Eluveitie from 2002 to 2013.
Biography
At the age of 13, Tadić started playing violin and fiddle[1] by taking classical and jazz lessons.
In 2002 she met Chrigel Glanzmann in a pub who was still looking for members for his folk metal project Eluveitie[1]. Soon afterwards, she was engaged as a fiddler and vocalist for the band. She was also involved with songwriting. (Reference)
In 2009 she released the first EP of her solo project Irij, which she had been developing for 2 years prior.[1] One year later she founded the folk rock project godnr.universe! together with former band member Anna Murphy[2].
After 11 years, on December 3rd, 2013, she amicably left Eluveitie to focus on her solo career with Irij.[3] In 2014 the debut album Same Zgode... followed. The album is inspired by a Croatian poem of the same title[4] and Tadić can be heard singing in her native language, Croatian.
