Miranda has performed on national tours, played sold-out and headline shows at well-known New York venues, provided backing vocals for the likes of Shawn Mendes, Lorde, and Andy Grammar, and joined Sly5thAve at Montréal JazzFest. In 2021 she was selected as one of First Up with RBCxMusic Emerging Artists as she released her debut album, Windborne, the follow up to her 2019 EP, Still. Both releases received consistent radio airplay and tastemaker support.

Overstimulated is her highly anticipated new album, co-produced by herself and multi-instrumentalist, and bass extraordinaire CARRTOONS, is set for release on November 10.

Born in Montréal, Miranda spent her formative years growing up on the north shore of Vancouver, filling diaries with emotions and experiences. She moved to New York to study Jazz and continued to develop her unique style of soul, pop, and jazz. Miranda co-hosts and co-founded Femme Jam (NYC’s first all-female led jam session); a community initiative to create a womxn-led space with an emphasis on female musicians that fosters inclusivity. For the past decade, she has been a music mentor with youth who stutter at SAY: The Stuttering Association for the Young.
