Miri

Miri Hersh (who goes by the single moniker Miri), is not your typical pop-diva. She doesn’t need outrageous costumes or tabloid stories to fuel her career. Her music speaks for itself. Miri’s stunning debut album, Canvas, (available on iTunes) takes listeners on an aural journey filled with smooth grooves, hypnotic beats, and angelic vocals.

Miri started pursuing her vocal visions aged just 16, before going on to produce beats and sound arrangements for MCs and other vocalists. This now-experienced songwriter and singer has been making her way up in today’s music industry for over a decade, not only producing her own music, but co-writing, performing with and supporting many other well-known music artists.

Miri’s distinctive appeal lies not only in her beautiful and edgy appearance, but also in her voice and songs, which are a mixture of alternative pop, soul and indie music. Miri’s husky and unique vocals have been compared to those of Feist and Macy Gray.

Miri’s debut album ‘Canvas’ was produced by Beverly Knight’s bass player, Paul Bruce and Monty Joseph from Qton Productions. Two of the tracks were co-written with Cocknbullkid. Before and during producing ‘Canvas,’ Miri’s voice has taken her to perform at a variety of venues and events including GOGO Festival ......www.gogofestival.com......, The Jazz Café in London, Dingwalls, The Bull & Gate, Water Rats, Madam Jo Jo’s, Candy Bar, and a township in South Africa.

Miri also supported Dee C Lee & The Deep MO, whose members have performed with George Michael, Eurythmics, Paul Weller, B.B King, and Stevie Wonder. Miri has also performed with renowned drummer Andy Gangadeen, bass player Nick Coen, indie-pop band The Precious Mings, and jazz guitarist Tony Remy. Unsurprisingly, after all of this musical effort, success and experience, people have been taking notice of this golden nugget of soul and voice within the industry.

Miri was featured as artist of the month on Peter Gabriel’s site ‘We7’, where her music is also available to buy and download. Somewhat of an upcoming music icon in London’s gay scene, Miri has also been interviewed in hot lesbian and bi-sexual magazine G3, where she was labeled as ‘one to watch’.

Miri has written for music production company ‘The Cutting Suite’ and recently featured on tracks by the critically acclaimed Reggae Dub act, 'Avatar', Electro Pop German producer Eric Crusher, Hip Hop/World Music collective 'Lineage', and Drum n Bass outfit 'Indivision'. Currently writing and recording new material with Producer Nick Harris from Spare Room Recording for her own artist project as well as working on other songwriting projects with various artists and producers; Miri will be releasing her 4 track EP digitally with Reel Me Records ......www.reelmerecords.com......
