Career

1987-2007

Mimi Page was born on February 2, 1987 in Los Angeles, California. Page was raised by her mother, Cheryl Clark, a "triple threat" dancer who appeared and toured on the prestigious Broadway shows Chicago , A Chorus Line and Pippin . From the age of 2 to 5, Page accompanied her mother on several international tours.

“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 moved to the suburbs of Las Vegas to start elementary school and achieve a stable living environment. At the age of 5 she began composing on the piano. Page returned to Los Angeles at age 11. At the age of 16, she moved to the Alexander Hamilton Music Academy to continue her piano training. She continued to compose instrumental music, but initially hid her desire to sing out of shyness.

Page shifted her artistic focus dramatically when she discovered electronic music teaching at school. After learning to digitally record and manipulate her singing in class, Page began recording and producing her own music.

During her senior year in high school, Page herself published a collection of the songs she recorded in her class and posted it publicly on Myspace .

In 2006, Page attended college at the University of California , Santa Cruz, to continue her studies in composition and electronic music. In 2007, she left university and moved to Hollywood to study audio engineering at the Musicians Institute . About the postponement 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 music via Myspace, YouTube and Facebook that was recorded and produced in her studio.

2008–2012

After submitting her demos to multiple radio stations, some of her unreleased songs were played on Sirius XM Chill and SomaFM Lush.

The album received positive reviews in the music blogosphere. Stereo Subversion Magazine describes Breathe Me In as

A remix of A Bad Place by dubstep producer Minnesota caused a sensation by Lorin Ashtons (Bassnectar) and appeared on his Amorphous Music Mixtape Volume 7 .

“Orchestral sweeps, trip-hop beats, lyrics that speak of a deep well of sadness, but which elevate rather than weigh down. It's also truly an album to be experienced in totality. For all the wonderful beauty of the individual components, the true genius is in the careful layering of possibilities from song to song. The process is dialectical: endlessly provocative, eternally haunting ”
