As Meghan’s career continues to take off, she has credited her father — who is a musician himself — for always staying by her side.

Recently, Gary made a surprise appearance on The Voice U.K. for which his daughter serves as a judge. During his time on stage, he showed off his piano skills and performed the track “Shake Rattle and Roll” with judge Tom Jones.

In 2018, the “No Excuses” singer told Today that her father is her “guy” and she continues to be “inspired by him.”

“I look up to him all the time,” she said.

While Meghan’s father has appeared with her on several red carpets over the years, he was also her date for her first Grammy Awards in 2015.

“I’m bringing my family,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “And my dad will be sitting next to me smiling from ear to ear!”
