Bio

MIRI is an artist, musician, songwriter, and community activist. Recognised for her distinctive soulful vocal tone and classic British songwriting, she has been heard on various BBC radio shows along with countless independent and community stations. While MIRI’s music weaves stories, it’s her day-to-day life that she uses for inspiration. With songs discussing political injustices and the challenges we face internally and externally, MIRI is not afraid to tackle tough subjects and shares her experiences candidly. Her music has featured in both film and documentaries.

“UK vocalist MIRI has a gently soulful brand of rebel music with pop as an artform, her universal viewpoint sits at odds with the reactionary forces around us.” CLASH Magazine

Artist Statement 

I am a professional vocalist, songwriter, performer and practitioner. 

 

Why MW is important:

As a Neurodivergent woman I have experienced the lack of education and understanding towards the needs of those who are Neurodivergent within the music industry and other work and creative environments. I have had to continue to mask because of this yet am learning to advocate for myself. We need communities like Magical Women to help with this advocacy and provide a louder platform for our access needs to be heard and actioned.
