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.

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. Influenced by 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 Los Angeles 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 latest collaboration is a song called, Let’s Get Together, on the newlys released 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!
