It was not Mireille’s life plan to enter the world of global pop icons, but fate has a way of summoning its chosen musical diarists. She grew up in the in the backstreets of Brighton, England as an avid reader, music lover and regular attendee at Glastonbury Festival and although the household piano sometimes occupied her, she was busy being good at too many things. As an inspired teenager confined by the global lockdown and compensating with an insatiable book habit, she founded the arts channel A Life of Literature with her sister, cultivating it into a publishing phenomenon and sharing her love of storytelling worldwide. It took just a minor narrative glitch to put her amongst a coterie of indie rock types from North London, allowing Mireille to experiment with transforming her own poetry into bold and beautiful songs.
Throughout the past year, one after another striking demo was recorded on her phone, and the evidence stacked up that she had an uncanny way with hyper-hooky pop, spanning summer crushes, adolescent betrayal, reckless longing and haunted dreams. With the guiding lights of Alanis Morissette and Fleetwood Mac keeping her on course, she trekked with her demos to the Kent studio of producers and bottled lighting experts Mat Hector and Mark Neary, emerging with a string of electrifying and crafted classics to be.
Mireille is pronounced 'Mi' as in miracle and ‘Reille’, as in ray of light.
It’s never too late to blow the dust off the library shelves of pop.
