Mimi Page (born February 2, 1987) is an American singer-songwriter and composer.
Page's original music blends ethereal vocals with piano driven, atmospheric soundscapes. She attributes her ethereal sound to her heavy 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, California 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 she 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.
