Early Life

Born on December 22, 1993, in Nantucket, Massachusetts, Meghan Elizabeth Trainor grew up in a musically inclined family. Her father, an organist, and her mother, a jeweler, encouraged her creative side. She started performing at age six in church and by her teens, was releasing her own music through digital tools like GarageBand.

She attended Nauset Regional High School, where she explored jazz, guitar, and trumpet. Between ages 15 and 17, Trainor independently released three albums, showcasing her drive and talent early on.

Rise to Fame with “All About That Bass”

Trainor’s breakthrough came with the release of “All About That Bass” in 2014, a retro-infused pop anthem that soared to No. 1 in 58 countries. The single’s success was so explosive that it went on to sell over 11 million units worldwide, earning RIAA Diamond certification. This set the stage for her debut studio album, Title (2015), which included other hits like “Lips Are Movin” and “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” (featuring John Legend). Despite mixed reviews, Title debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was eventually certified triple platinum.

Meghan Trainor’s Music Career

Following the success of her debut, Trainor continued to build her pop portfolio with albums like Thank You (2016), Treat Myself (2020), and A Very Trainor Christmas (2020). Her unique blend of doo-wop, R&B, and soul-inspired pop has attracted fans worldwide. Trainor’s lyrics champion themes of female empowerment, body positivity, and self-love.

In 2016, she won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, a defining moment that marked her place in the pop industry. She has collaborated with artists like Charlie Puth, Maroon 5, and Brett Eldredge, and her voice has become a mainstay on mainstream radio.

A Financial Hiccup

In a surprising twist, Trainor once revealed in a 2015 interview that she was “flat broke” despite her massive hit single dominating the charts. The issue wasn’t mismanagement—it was timing. Recording contracts often delay artist royalties for months. But by April 2015, she had received her long-awaited paycheck and began investing in luxury real estate, marking the beginning of her wealth accumulation.

Real Estate Empire

Trainor and her husband, actor Daryl Sabara, have made savvy real estate moves over the years:

In 2016, they purchased a Toluca Lake home for just under $5 million, later selling it in 2021 for $5.5 million.
Also in 2016, Trainor bought another property in Valley Village for $1.7 million.
In December 2020, the couple acquired a 10,000-square-foot mansion in Encino for $6.6 million. This home featured a high-end recording studio and once belonged to rapper TMG Fresh. They listed it for $12 million in June 2024.
Their most recent purchase came in May 2024 when they bought a stunning Encino mansion for $17.1 million from DJ Zedd, who had purchased it from Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner.

Songwriting Success

Rather than pursue college at Berklee College of Music, where she had earned a scholarship, Trainor signed with Big Yellow Dog Music in Nashville. She initially worked behind the scenes, writing songs for artists like Rascal Flatts and Sabrina Carpenter, doubting her ability to succeed as a performer.

That changed when she co-wrote “All About That Bass” with Kevin Kadish. After numerous rejections, a performance for Epic Records chairman L.A. Reid led to her signing and superstardom.

Personal Life

Trainor met Daryl Sabara, known for his role in Spy Kids, at a house party in 2014. They began dating in 2016 and married on her 25th birthday in December 2018. The couple welcomed their first child after announcing their pregnancy in October 2020, and they continue to maintain a public presence as a happy Hollywood family.
