Meghan Trainor was born on December 22, 1993, in Nantucket, Massachusetts, to Kelli and Gary Trainor. Her parents were both jewelers. Meghan Trainor has an elder brother named Ryan, and a younger brother named Justin. She began singing at age six, initially at church with her father, a music teacher and organist.
Meghan Trainor became interested in music at an early age and was influenced by her family. At age 11, Meghan Trainor told her father that she wanted to become a recording artist and began writing songs, recording them using the digital audio workstation software GarageBand. She started with her own arrangement of the popular song “Heart and Soul”. Her mother recalled that Meghan Trainor “did a lot by ear”, and picked up music without formal training. Her father encouraged her to explore every musical genre. Aged 12, Meghan Trainor began performing as part of the cover band, Island Fusion, with her aunt, younger brother, and father, performing soca music alongside her own compositions. Meghan Trainor was in the group for four years, singing, playing piano, guitar and bongo drums. By age 13, Meghan Trainor had written her first original song, “Give Me a Chance”.
Meghan Trainor and her family left Nantucket when she was in the eighth grade, temporarily relocating to Orleans, Massachusetts before moving to North Eastham. She attended Nauset Regional High School and studied guitar, played trumpet and sang in a jazz band for three years, and was a substitute cheerleader.
While a teenager, Meghan Trainor’s parents encouraged her to attend songwriting conventions, taking her to venues where production companies were searching for new artists and songwriters. Aged 15, she took guitar lessons from former NRBQ member Johnny Spampinato. During this time, Meghan Trainor used Logic Studio to record and produce her compositions, and later worked independently in a home studio built by her parents.
