Mimi Page

Mimi Page (born February 2, 1987) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer and composer.

Page's original music blends ethereal vocals with piano-driven, atmospheric soundscapes.

She attributes her ethereal sound to her use of reverb, delay, and layering techniques in post production.

Page's primary instruments are the piano and synthesizer with production and beat creation in Logic Pro.

Mimi Page was born in Los Angeles on February 2, 1987.

Page was raised by her mother Cheryl Clark, a "triple threat" dancer who performed and toured in acclaimed Broadway shows Chicago, A Chorus Line and Pippin.

From age 2–5, Page accompanied her mother on multiple international tours.

On her early years, Page reflects; "We pretty much lived as nomads in hotels and on the tour bus. I'd rehearse her lines with her which helped me learn how to read. I attribute a lot of my creativity to my childhood as I was constantly surrounded by music and dancing."

Page then relocated to a suburban area of Las Vegas to begin grade school and attain a stable living environment.

At age 5, she began composing on the piano.

At age 11, Page returned to Los Angeles.

At 16, she transferred to the Alexander Hamilton Music Academy to pursue her training on the piano.

She continued to compose instrumental music, but concealed her desire to sing due to shyness.

Page shifted her artistic focus dramatically when discovering the Electronic Music program at the school.

After learning to digitally record and manipulate her vocals in class, Page began recording and producing her own original music.

During her senior year of high school Page self-released a collection of the songs recorded in her class and publicly shared them on Myspace.

In 2006, Page attended college at the University of California, Santa Cruz to further her studies in Composition and Electronic Music.

In 2007 she left the university and moved to Hollywood to study recording engineering at Musician's Institute.

On the shift of studies, Page says "I wanted to get away from the formal structure of classical music and learn more of the techniques of recording. It's really tough when you’re an up and coming artist to afford studio time, so I wanted to be able to cheaply build my own studio and produce my own albums."

During this time, Page continued to upload original music through Myspace, YouTube, and Facebook, which were all recorded and produced in her studio apartment.

After submitting her demos to multiple radio stations, Page gained airplay on Sirius/XM Chill and Soma FM Lush with several of her unreleased songs.

May 2010 Page digitally self-released her first EP A Lullaby for the Lonely through CD Baby (which originally included singles "New" and "Come What May").

In August she released two additional singles, "Gravity" and "This Fire".

MTV's The Real World licensed "This Fire" in an episode which launched the song to No. 11 on iTunes and No. 1 on Amazon.com's electronic charts.

Page was then approached by bass music record label Simplify.

Recordings and offered a one-album deal for a remix album for her songs off of "A Lullaby For The Lonely" and given two options; to be remixed exclusively by the label's top producers, or host a remix contest and allow both established and novice producers to submit.

Page chose to throw the remix contest and made her vocal stems downloadable to the public for a limited time.

As a result, multiple EDM Blogs promoted the contest and hundreds of entries were received.

Both Page and the label chose the top 12 and on June 8, 2011, the album "Harmonious Heartbeats" was released.

Following the album release, Page proceeded to collaborate on original material with several of the remixers on "Harmonious Heartbeats".

In July 2011, a collaboration between Page and Shotgun Radio titled "A Bad Place" was independently released.

Simplify.

Recordings offered a second remix album deal for the single.

Page then teamed up with Warren Huart to finish her full-length record Breathe Me In.

Originally intended for another self-release, Page funded the album production with fan donations through Kickstarter.com.

In August 2011, she was offered a distribution deal for Breathe Me In by record label Gonzo Multimedia (the umbrella company of Voice Print Records).

To anticipate the album, Gonzo Multimedia re-released "This Fire" on a new EP on December 1, 2011.

On February 14, 2012, Breathe Me In was released on Gonzo Multimedia's new imprint Hunter Records.

The album received positive reviews in the music blogosphere.

Stereo Subversion magazine describes Breathe Me In as "a potent mix of sultry down tempo numbers, emotional pop-tronica, and thought-provoking ballads. Her vocals draw you in like a tractor beam, and the musical variety is downright dizzying."
