Tessa Violet Williams (born March 20, 1990), better known as Tessa Violet and previously known as Meekakitty, is a singer-songwriter and video blogger from the United States.
Violet began daily vlogging in 2007 for a school project under the username Meekakitty when working in Hong Kong and Thailand as a fashion model. However, she quit modelling by 2009. Violet's early content focused on storytelling, skits, and music videos, including fan-made music videos for popular artists such as Relient K, Family Force 5, and Mika.
After moving to New York City in 2009, Violet gained attention after winning $100,000 in a YouTube competition by receiving the most comments on her video entry.
Violet released her first album Maybe Trapped Mostly Troubled on March 18, 2014. Despite the lack of attention from traditional media sources, the record debuted at number 10 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and sold 5,000 copies in the first three months.
On October 25, 2019 Violet released her second album Bad Ideas. The album contains 11 tracks, 4 of which have been released as singles (Crush, Bad Ideas, I Like (the idea of) You, and Games).
