Meaux was born in Wright, Louisiana. After serving briefly in the U.S. Army, he opened a barber shop in Winnie, Texas, where he produced the swamp pop classic "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" by "Jivin'" Gene Bourgeois. He also discovered Barbara Lynn and produced her 1962 hit "You'll Lose a Good Thing".[5]
In 1996, a police raid of his office turned up thousands of Polaroids and videos of girls, mostly underage, in sexual situations.[5][9] Meaux pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault of a child, a drug possession charge, a child pornography charge, and another for jumping bail and briefly fleeing to Juárez, Mexico. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison[6] and was released in 2007.[5]
In 2010, he formed the record label Freedom Express Records, and released an album by Ramon Angel Solis entitled The Mexican Side of Me. Meaux died on April 23, 2011, aged 82.[5]
