Meïa Santiago concludes an addictive love in "I Can't Stay Away From You."

In 2021, Meïa Santiago released Stoop n°6, her first EP since moving from Barcelona to New York three years ago. The EP includes two of her own songs: "Angels in New York City" and "Down by the Water," as well as two covers: "My Flame" and "Rats." The EP was sponsored by Paradise Hill Productions management.

Meïa arrived in New York as a result of a scholarship and an award for her song "Be Gentle My Love" from her previous EP, Mülzien 25, produced by Dani Vega, guitarist of the well-known Spanish pop-rock band Mishima. The award was granted by the monthly film festival "Aphrodite Film Awards New York City" in the category of Best Musical Piece in 2018.

Meïa Santiago premiered the first single from the EP, "Angels in New York City," which includes a spoken tribute to the famous Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, in the winter of 2020. She cowrote this song with composer and singer Itaal Shur, who has been awarded a Grammy and has produced and written for several albums by artist Maxwell. He also won a Grammy for the song "Smooth" that he wrote for Santana.

"My Flame" is a song by the recently deceased and great artist Bobby Caldwell, released in 1978. Meïa has partially translated it into Spanish.

Meïa also has an album called Lighthouse with the Spanish record label Picap, with whom she signed a three-year artist agreement. She also received an award in 2018 for the music video of "Beyond the Angle of Horror" (Meïa's song dedicated to photojournalist Leila Alaoui, who was killed in a terrorist attack), obtained at the Pinnacle Film Awards in California.
