MimíO is a spirited fusion artist who creates stark melodies curated from the Soul, Afrobeats and R&B genes. Finding her start early on as a member of her church choir, she went on to quickly learn the arts of singing, performing and reading music. MimíO soaks in the inspirations from her upbringing and from her hometown, making her an avid fan of the greats like Fela Kuti, Amy Winehouse, Drake, Musiq Soulchild, Snoh Aalegra and Asa, to curate emotionally relatable songs with her own signature twist. For Mimi, her message is clear, no matter what emotion you may be feeling -whether you understand it or not- you have the permission to explore and express it and that’s what she aims to do with every single song. Excelling at her first performance in 2018 at the Jazz Café, she has gone on to thrill at numerous open mics, but is not confident that she has a mission to ensure that the world hears her message through her intimate lyrics and sound. With so much more to come, expectations for this newcomer should remain very high.
