Early Life and Education

Meghan Elizabeth Trainor was born on December 22, 1993, in Nantucket, Massachusetts, to jewelers Kelli (née Jekanowski) and Gary Trainor. Her father was a music teacher and church organist, and Meghan began singing with him at age six at a local Methodist church. She grew up with an older brother named Ryan and a younger brother named Justin. The family environment was deeply musical: Trainor learned to play guitar, trumpet, piano, and bongo drums during her childhood.

Trainor graduated from Nauset Regional High School in 2012 and was offered a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston. She declined it to pursue a professional songwriting career. She had already attended summer performance programs at Berklee in 2009 and 2010 and had independently released three acoustic albums — Meghan Trainor (2009), I’ll Sing with You (2011), and Only 17 (2011) — before she was 18 years old.

Music Career

Trainor signed with Nashville-based Big Yellow Dog Music in 2012 and began placing songs with established artists. Among her early placements were cuts recorded by Hunter Hayes and Rascal Flatts. In 2014, she signed with Epic Records and released “All About That Bass” as her major-label debut single. The track — a body-positive pop anthem co-written with Kevin Kadish — reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for eight consecutive weeks, topped charts in 58 countries, sold 11 million copies worldwide, and was certified Diamond by the RIAA, per Wikipedia. It was also the first debut single by any artist to reach 1 billion YouTube views.

Her major-label debut album Title (2015) debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 and featured the top-10 singles “Lips Are Movin” and “Like I’m Gonna Lose You.” At the 58th Grammy Awards in February 2016, Trainor won Best New Artist — one of the most competitive categories in pop music. She followed with Thank You (2016), Treat Myself (2020), A Very Trainor Christmas (2020), Takin’ It Back (2022), and Timeless (June 2024). Timeless peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 2 in Australia, according to the Official Charts Company. A seventh album, Toy with Me, is scheduled for April 2026.

On television, Trainor served as a coach on The Voice UK Series 9 (2020) and has been a judge on the revived Australian Idol (2023). She co-hosts the podcast Workin’ On It with her husband Daryl Sabara. Her 2025 single “Still Don’t Care” was released in November 2025.

How Meghan Trainor Built Her $30 Million Fortune

  • Recorded music and streaming royalties: “All About That Bass” is RIAA Diamond certified — one of fewer than 200 songs in history to achieve that status — and continues to generate publishing and master royalties across streaming platforms. Her six-album Epic Records catalog spans a decade of continuous commercial releases.
  • Songwriting and publishing income: Trainor has held songwriting credits since her teens and placed songs with multiple established artists before her own breakthrough. Her publishing catalog extends well beyond her own recordings and represents a long-term royalty income stream.
  • Touring: The 2024 Timeless Tour grossed over $14.1 million from 25 shows, selling 259,663 tickets at an average of 10,387 tickets per show — the first time her touring was booked exclusively in outdoor amphitheaters and arenas, per Pollstar. Her 2016 Untouchable Tour grossed $7.4 million from 29 shows.
  • Television appearances and coaching fees: Trainor has been paid for roles as a coach on The Voice UK (2020) and judge on Australian Idol (2023). Television coaching contracts for major singing competition shows have been reported at seven-figure annual rates industry-wide.

  • Real estate: In May 2024, Trainor and Daryl Sabara paid $17.1 million for a contemporary Encino, California mansion previously owned by DJ Zedd, per Architectural Digest. The six-bedroom, 12-bathroom, 15,000-square-foot property includes a recording studio, gym, sauna, lap pool, and a two-story guesthouse with a Dolby Atmos theater. The couple also purchased an Encino mansion for $6.6 million in 2020 (later listed for $11.995 million in 2024) and a modern farmhouse-style property for $3.1 million.
