Mekeel is the founder of the Temple Avenue jazz combo, which he started in 2011 while a junior in high school in collaboration with older friends who were in Temple University's jazz program. Mekeel, 29, continues to play with Temple Avenue in ensembles ranging from duos to sextets. The group performs at concerts, festivals, dances, parties, restaurants, and other events across southcentral Pennsylvania. Mekeel also performs as a solo pianist.

A graduate of HACC Lancaster Campus, the Manheim Township resident cites jazz pianist Ellis Marsalis as his biggest musical influence. Mekeel studies jazz piano with Kirk Reese and classical piano with Justin Badgerow.
