MIMI ROSSI biography
Singer/songwriter, Mimi Rossi was born and
raised in Los Angeles, CA. She
soaked up a love of music ranging in style from the early days of hip hop & R&B, to her mom’s favorite oldies
and funk, to her dad’s love of the standards and big band. While making a pilgrimage to New York to promote a single she independently pressed up, Accidentally Yours, she discovered and fell in love with house and dance music. About a year ago she moved to
what is known as “the live music capital of the world” – Austin,
TX.
Mimi Rossi’s project, Listen To The Music, offers up an infectious blend of alternative dance grooves to straight up hard-hitting dance
cuts. Her vocal style flows hypnotically over every rhythmic beat. Tinged with her travels, the singer-songwriter brings her
pop vocals to a varied blend of dance music, and infuses it with the mélange of style and rhythm that permeate her richly
diverse hometown.
“Listen
To The Music was a long time coming”, says Mimi, “How could I not release
a CD that had so many talented people contributing to it. People such as; Chuckii
Booker, Eddie Miller, Douglas Hirai, Jaywill Sands, Joy
Basu and a Swedish collaboration with Starbricks, Frej Jonsson and Morgan Jonasson.”
Currently
Mimi is working with producers across the globe on new material. “It’s
amazing to me that I can record vocals here in Texas and send them over the internet to places like Italy, Sweden, Estonia
and here in the states, and have a complete quality recording come back to me!” she says.
Mimi Rossi loves
the freedom of expression and artistic exploration that songwriting has afforded her.
She is a frequent collaborator with other talented artists. While with Famous Music Publishing, she worked with artists
signed to Virgin, Warner Bros., and MCA. Mimi’s recent collaboration is
a song called, Let’s Get Together, on the upcoming self titled Groove Metropolis
CD, which includes the talents of Val Watson (formally with Club Nouveau) and Gerald McCauley.
Able to
work with many different kinds of musicians; she is a natural collaborator. But, underneath Mimi's flexibility is the solid
foundation of a beautiful voice; one that expresses happiness, sorrow, and one hell of a party!
